Additionally, according to notes for Convoy SC 20, the following ships, sailing in that convoy, had originally been scheduled for HX 105: Lylepark, Baron Ogilvy, Alcor and Manchester Division.
Similarly, as per notes for Convoy SC 21, Tremoda, Morska Wola, Harbury and Empire Woodcock, sailing in that convoy, came from HX 105 (*so it looks like Harbury cancelled, or returned to port).


Notes:
Nurtureton can be found in the next convoy - ref. link below.

Ocean Escort: HMS Ascania.

More details on the Norwegian ships named in this table can be found with the help of the alphabet index below.
