Notes:
* I'm not sure whether the ships that are crossed out in the table above, are crossed out because they did not sail at all, or whether they're crossed out because they left the convoy at sea, before arrival Loch Ewe, but I believe the latter to be the case.

For info, Bañaderos and Bajamar had previously arrived with Convoy HX 248 at the end of July. Their destination is given as Loch Ewe, then Iceland. Note that Bañaderos is also mentioned in connection with Convoy HX 253 at the end of Aug. with a note saying that she parted company for St. John's. Dettifoss later returned with Convoy HX 255 in Sept. (see also HX 246).
