Convoy HXF 305 and S.S.Pinto

Hi Listers,

I have full info on the merchant ships which made up this convoy. I would like to know the names of the escorting vessels. My cousin James Binnie was a D.E.M.S. gunner on board the rescue ship Pinto where he lost his life after she was torpedoed by U 482. Was Pinto with this convoy or did she join them in the North Passage as I always believed.

Many thanks in advance

Jim
