Ski Jumps: Bergen (Johanneskirken)

Nitpicking

Just a small correction: The correct spelling is Johanneskirken (not kirkken), and Johanneskirkebakken.

Oh, and according to newspaper Bergens Tidende, the hill was actually K28.5, and Roger Ruud jumped 21.5 m twice that day.

Date and longest jump

Birger (correct spelling) Wiik Andersen's hill record was set on 4 February 1940. That same day Ole Haugerud and Karsten Gårder (both Norway) fell at 59 m, But the longest jump seems to have been a standing jump of 60 m that Øivind Nilsen Raa (Norway) did in training or test jumping on 4 February 1951.
