Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I puta te whakaekenga o Iceland (ko te ingoa waehere Operation Fork) e te Royal Navy me Royal Marines i te 10 o Mei 1940, i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao. I tū te whakaekenga nā te mea i wehi te kāwanatanga o Ingarangi ka whakamahia a Īheramana e ngā Tiamana, nāna i whakaekenga mai a Rānana
, i roto i te uniana whaiaro ki a Iceland, a, i mua i te nuinga o te kawenga mo te kaupapa here o Iceland. I puta he whakahe a te Kawanatanga o Iceland, e whakapae ana kua "whakamekemeke rawa" tana wehenga, kua "whakamekemeke i tana mana motuhake".
