Thanks Nick.

T17: Hermes reports exchanging recognition signals with a high-flying aircraft on the 20th, and this was noted in comments on the log as being an ASV (term used by the Germans) aircraft securing the route to the east as Hermes brought in U-83.
T14: The four convoys seem really to just have to have been two convoys, with both the convoys north- and southbound merging.
39 Sqdn - would assume that the MZ were mistaken for destroyers.
38 Sqn - again confusion on what vessels they were attacking

All the best

Andreas
