Coastal command would have been active thus aircraft such as the Avro Anson (perhaps an early Blenheim could substitute?), Fairey Swordish, Albacore, Fulmar, were active. I'm not sure if Sunderlands flew over the North Sea on a regular basis but there are skins for H8K to cover that. The Supermarine Walrus and Sea Otter (Use an MBR2) conducted patrols and SAR.
I think the upshot here is to realise that instead of the Norway map as simply an arena for dogfights, you can extend that idea by considering what flights are necessary for day to day operations. Patrols and reconnaisance, minelaying or sweeping, search and rescue, anti-submarine, transpiort, training flights by secondary aeroplanes, even courier flights to neutral Sweden.
