    Hi All,

    on WO361/145 i found some notes about convoy T.A.5:

    "T.A. 5 SS RODI, SS SHUNTIEN escorted by HMS HEYTHROP, HMS SALVIA sailed Tobruk 1530/23rd dec 1941, then join HMS HOTSPUR and HMS HASTY...."

    On 25th dec 41 only SS RODI, HMS HEYTHROP, HMS HOTSPUR and HMS HASTY arrived at unkown hour at Alexandria.

    On Arnold Hague convoy database there are no more usefull informations and SS RODI is not present.

    I like know which was the task of convoy and which was the RODI's cargo (POWs? how many?).

    Thanks in advance for any help
