Departed Reykjavik for the U.K. on Aug. 10-1942, arrived Loch Ewe on Aug. 14.

Note: I'm assuming all Danish ships were under British control at that time.

Notes:
"Convoy Rescue Ships" (Arnold Hague), also lists the Rescue Vessel Toward as being in this convoy. She was on her 21st voyage, having started out at Clyde with Convoy UR 35 on Aug. 1, carrying 20 passengers to Reykjavik with arrival there on Aug. 7. She then returned to Clyde with RU 35 Aug. 10-Aug. 14, carrying another 16 passengers.

According to the external site that I've linked to below, RU 35 was escorted by Williamsburg, HMS Paynter, HMS Bredon, and HMS Blackfly.
