Notes:
For info, Noreg and British Pride had previously been in Convoy QP 8 from Murmansk, and may have been among the 5 ships arriving Hvalfjord on March 11? Destination for both of them is given as U.S.A. - they are listed in Convoy SC 84 from Halifax to the U.K. in May-1942.

No further details are available on this convoy.
