Going through some paperwork and I have come across something that may need to be corrected for the listing of Austvard. On the information page for the ship it states that the RN destroyer HMS Anthony was dispatched on the 30th to the assistance of the Austvard after a radio distress message had been received from an unknown vessel.

From the information I have gathered it appears there may have been a mix up here.
HMS Anthony had picked up survivors from the attacks on convoy SC 19, she arrived back in Greenonck 1623 hrs on 30/01/41. She would not have been able to be in a position to search for / assist Austvard.
The radio message recieved from the unknown ship was actually on the 31st and not the 30th. This ship was the Rowanbank who had been attacked by an FW 200. The RN ship sent to search 40 minutes after the message was transmitted was HMS Anemore, who had just joined SL 62, Austvards convoy.

Anybody else have similar information? Anybody else have any other info on Austvard? We can open this thread up to any Austvard or SL 62 topics.

Regards,

Mark
