Mottatt info:
Ulf Larsstuvold: "Dette var en SFHQ/SHAEF-operasjon og agentenes nasjonalitet var underordnet. Adamson snakket norsk, han var i området som offiser i 3. Independent Company i mai 1940 (og tilbake igjen i august 1945). Han forstuet foten i landingen og kom seg ikke unna. Det gjorde at SFHQ måtte kansellere en rekke tilsvarende operasjoner Adamson hadde vært med på å planlegge. En av de som aldri fikk vite hvorfor det ikke ble noe av oppdraget han ventet å fly ut på var Knut Haugland"
