* The Airbase is in the area of Bardufoss Airport. Bardafuss is Norway's oldest airport. Prior to WW2, it was expanded by the Norwegian Army Air Service and later was captured by the Germans. The Germans then expanded it, and it was used by the Luftwaffe. They also added a second runway but never used it. The RNoAF reclaimed the airport in 1945, and it was extended and modernized in the 1950's by NATO. Bardufoss is still an active airport that is used for both civilian and military purposes.

* The port town of Narvik is part of the old Operation Wilfred Plan R4, and was planned to be occupied by an Allied Landing Force to prevent the Germans from easily landing and establishing beachheads. It would later become known to be the site of the famous Battle of Narvik. This was the only site of operation that the Allied Forces were able to hold. This is one of the few early allied victories during the Invasion of Norway and one of the few victories against the German advance into Western Europe during 1939-1940.
