Hi Urs,

As Tomek just asked for the ships in both EG's and 42nd was involved in escorting the convoy I didn't give a break down for the 44th. Bayntum was first listed as part of the 44th EG on 12 February and remained attached throughout its working up period in Bermuda. On 19 April it was then attached to B4 Escort group and departed Bermuda for Londonderry.

For completeness, as per Pink List 19 Feb 1943

44EG:
Egret (SO) Londonderry, boiler cleaning, ready 22 Feb
Erne, arrived Londonderry 17 Feb
Banff, Immingham, refit date uncertain
Fishguard, Londonderry, boiler cleaning, ready 22 Feb
Clare, Londonderry, boiler cleaning, ready 22 Feb
Bayntum, Boston, Mass.
Test, Londonderry, boiler cleaning, ready 22 Feb
Teviot, Tobermory
Trent, Bristol
