Hi Blond,
I have look at the claims of Luftwaffe units over southern Norway in 1942 and 1943. The plane types that were reported as shot down are:
1942:
Hudson
Spitfire (reconplanes)
Blenheim
Beaufort
Beaufighter
Mosquito
1943:
Hampden
Beaufighter
Mosquito
B-24 (RAF ?)
Here some additional information:
In November 1943 the USAAF used B-17s to bomb targets in Norway, but no claims were reported by Luftwaffe units.
The RAF used Halifax, Lancasters and Wellingtons, moreover Royal Navy carrier aircraft saw action over Norway.
In October 1943 US-Navy aircraft attacked targets along the Norwegian coast, the planes were Avengers, Dauntles and Wildcats.
