The Norwegian Belpareil is also listed in Convoy BP 67B from Bombay to Bandar Abbas in Febr.-1943, while the Norwegian Norfjell (bound for Capetown) is included in Convoy PA 24, as is the Panamanian Nortun, which had Norwegian managers and is, therfore, listed under the N's of this website.
In Convoy XT 3, the Norwegian Brønnøy and Toronto are included. Promise also sailed in Convoy XT 16 in Jan.-1944, and Mosna is listed in XT 18 the following month with a note saying she detached from the convoy for Benghazi on Febr. 23.
As can be seen in the above Voyage Record, Arnold Hague suggests that Bust may have sailed in Convoy KMS 42, when she made her voyage from Tripoli to Augusta at the end of Febr.-1944. She's not listed in this convoy, but several other Norwegian ships are, namely Askeladden, Hjalmar Wessel, Norholm, Novasli, and Ole Bull. This particular portion of the convoy had left Gibraltar on Febr. 25 and had Port Said as its final destination, with arrival there on March 6, but several ships had other destinations. The convoy had originally started out in Liverpool on Febr. 12 as the combined Convoy OS 68 / KMS 42 and split up on the 23rd, with the Gibraltar portion (KMS 42) arriving there on the 25th, while the OS convoy continued to Freetown, where it arrived on March 5. (Cetus, Lisbeth, Novasli, Ragnhild and Snar are listed as taking part in the combined convoy from the U.K.)
In "Convoy Linseed" (Naples to Augusta, Apr.-1944), Bust was in company of the Norwegian Audun, Dux and Gudrun.
See the alphabet index below for more information on the ships mentioned here, or go to the Master Ship Index.
