An original document re the U.K.-Norway Convoys states that this convoy had 6 ships only. However, comparing my list with a list of ships in ON 3 received from Don Kindell, based on A. Hague's own database, I find that A. Hague has also added the British Briarwood, with a note saying she arrived Narvik on Dec. 2.

ON 3 was dispersed in the morning of Nov. 30.

Escorts:
HMS Eskimo (S.O.), Matabele, Icarus and Ilex (also escorted the returning Convoy HN 3). For additional info, see this document, listing escorts for all HN and ON convoys.
