World War Two / Re: St Malo 1940

@ScouseBoy I have tried convoyweb.  That and The War at Sea were where I got the convoy number but there is no information beyond the fact that the convoy existed and no reference I can find to a ship returning to Southampton.

Thank you Drew I will try over there.

Possibly as early as the 25th or 26th but 27th or 28th would be plausible.

They left Belgium on the 18th May and took 4-5 days to travel across Northern France and then waited near St Malo for no more than a day or 2 so pretty certain it was nothing to do with Aerial.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but there seem to be some knowledgeable folk commenting so we thought it might be a good place to start. 

My family are trying to trace a ship that took my mother (then aged 8) and her family from St Malo to Portsmouth in May 1940.  She thinks it was a British Navy destroyer.  The dates of her families escape from Belgium would suggest that the ship may have been part of convoy SA.42 (found thanks to earlier links on this thread).  Does anyone have any more information about this  convoy or ships in the area at the time?  If not what's the best place for us to look next?

Many thanks :)
