The Channel / east coast section may have been escorted by the destroyer HMS Whitehall (Lt.Cdr. A.B. Russell, RN) which had departed Portsmouth on 6 March and arrived at Dover on 12 March which is the same day the remaining merchant ships of this section arrived in the Downs. Also the destroyer HMS Acasta (Cdr. C.E. Glasfurd, RN) may have escorted the Channel / east coast section for part of the way. She had departed Plymouth on 7 March and arrived back there on 11 March. HMS Hereward also arrived at Plymouth on 11 March, most likely after having remained with the Channel / east coast section until that day.

The Channel / east coast section was made up of the following merchant vessels;

Around 1745Q/22, both Canadian destroyers parted company to return to Halifax.

At dawn on 23 March when in approximate position 42°30'N, 58°00'W, the Adula (arrived in the Downs on 3 April), Point Arena (arrived at Le Havre on 10 April), Suderholm (arrived at Liverpool on 5 April) and the Bévéziers (returned to Halifax on 28 March) were seen to have straggled from the convoy during last night's gale. More ships had straggled but most rejoined during the day. More ships rejoined during the passage east. The last one to rejoin was the Gold Shell on 30 March.

Around 2330N/30, the Pecten (arrived at Greenock on 6 April) straggled from the convoy in approximate position 50°10'N, 22°40'W. The reason for the ship straggling was not known to the convoy Commodore according to his report but the report of HMS Ausonia mentions engine trouble as the reason.

Around 0540Z/2, the local A/S escort joined. This was made up of the destroyers HMS Versatile (Cdr.(Retd.) T.A. Hussey, RN) and HMS Winchelsea (Lt.Cdr. W.A.F. Hawkins, RN) which were to escort the Irish Sea / west coast section. The escorts for the Channel / east coast section are not mentioned in the Commodore's papers and the log of HMS Ausonia. Given the movements of the escorts it seems likely that the destroyers HMS Wild Swan (Lt.Cdr. J.L. Younghusband, RN) and HMS Wolverine (Cdr. R.H. Craske, RN) also joined.
