Convoy ON 255 left Liverpool on Sept. 22-1944 and arrived New York on Oct. 9.

Notes:
For info, Godafoss and Gyda had arrived from New York at the beginning of Sept. with Convoy HX 304. Godafoss later joined HX 314 on Oct. 15, in order to return to Iceland. It looks like Gyda also went back to the U.S., because she's listed in HX 317 at the end of Oct.
Larranga and the Norwegian Mui Hock had previously arrived from New York and Halifax with Convoy HX 303. Both are listed in the Halifax-U.K. Convoy SC 161 in Nov.-1944.

No further details are available on RU 135.
