Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" agrees with 17 ships in this convoy.

Transcribed from several documents received from Tony Cooper, England - His source: Public Records Office, Kew. There was also a Convoy HG 26, which left Gibraltar on Apr. 13-1940 and arrived Liverpool on the 23rd. This convoy is not available to me.
