Received from Tony Cooper, England - His source: Public Records Office, Kew.

What follows is an extract of what can be found in the Advance Sailing telegram for HN 10. Unfortunately, the convoy designations noted on the original documents used for my text on the page about HN 10 are hard to decipher in places, so i cannot guarantee accuracy. However, it does agree on the whole with a list of ships received from Don Kindell (from the late Arnold Hague's database).

Another document listing all the Norway-U.K. Convoys states that Convoy HN 11 had 1 British, 15 Norwegian, 10 Swedish, and 1 Finnish ship, for a total of 27.

* According to A. Hague's list, Orania did sail

** Frode is listed as Swedish (1535 gt) in the Advance Sailing Telegram. There's a Frode listed by A. Hague in the next convoy, HN 12, but he says it was the Norwegian Frode.

All the Norwegian ships mentioned in this convoy are discussed on this website (some in the Homefleet section) - they can be reached through the Master Index page.

Escorts mentioned on this page:
Escapade, Echo, Encounter, Eclipse, Ivanhoe, Gurkha, Edinburgh, Arethusa, Cairo, Hood, Warspite, Glasgow.

Also, see the text under Febr. 11 on this external page, which mentions this convoy and its escorts.
