Also in this convoy (all British - station numbers not known):

Additionally, the Rescue Vessel Zaafaran - see Notes below.


Notes:
The Rescue Vessel Zaafaran was on her 8th voyage as such. She started this voyage from Clyde on Aug. 20-1941, detached from ON 9 when dispersed on Aug. 25, then returned to Clyde with Convoy HX 145, Aug. 25-Aug. 30. ("Convoy Rescue Ships 1940-1945", Arnold Hauge).

The Norwegian Inger had been ordered to return to Loch Ewe on Aug. 23-1941; sunk by U-143 that same evening - more information (incl. crew list) is available on my page about Inger.

Escorts (also received from Don Kindell, whose own work, covering "Royal & other Navies Day-by-Day in World War 2" can be viewed at this website):
Aug. 20-Aug. 23: Ayrshire, Boadicea, Lady Madeleine, Winchelsea.
