If you go to my page about Mirlo here [
www.warsailors.com] you'll see that 2 of my Norwegian sources claim she was in Convoy PQ 6 to Murmansk. I have always assumed this is a case of mistaken identity, because the British El Mirlo is listed in this convoy. But now I'm not so sure - as you will see Mirlo, 7455 gt, shows up in Convoy SC 55, which left Sydney C.B. on Nov. 16-1941, and her destination is given as Hvalfjord. Convoy PQ 6 left Hvalfjord on Dec. 8.
Any thoughts on this? A coincidence, or what?
