M.F.11s saw active service along Norwegian coastlines following the German invasion. An M.F.11 was among the first Norwegian units to make contact with the invasion forces when on 8 April 1940 an aircraft of the [[Trøndelag]] Naval District was dispatched to the [[Kornstadfjord]] near [[Lyngstad, Møre og Romsdal|Lyngstad]] in [[Eide Municipality]] where a German [[Arado Ar 196]] had made an emergency landing. After the German aircrew approached locals trying to purchase fuel they were captured by some civilians before being transferred to the custody of police officers. The crew of the M.F.11 transported the Germans and their Arado to [[Kristiansund (town)|Kristiansund]] for internment. The Arado had been catapult launched from the German cruiser [[German cruiser Admiral Hipper|''Admiral Hipper'']].Sivertsen 1999: 105, 115–116 |
