 | | Early in the morning of Apr. 2, at 06:40 the lookout spotted 3 vessels off the port bow, and they must have held their breath until they discovered they were British, namely the WW I veterans, destroyers HMS Wallace, HMS Valorous and HMS Vanity, which had left Methil at 21:25 the night before. |
 | | HMS Valorous now escorted them towards the U.K., while a Beaufighter circled above, and at 16:45 land could be seen, then the next day she was in port in Methil (the other 2 destroyers continued east). |
 | | In addition to Wallace, Valorous and Vanity, which had departed Methil at 21:25 on Apr. 1, 3 other destroyers were also sent out to meet the Kvarstad ships, namely HMS Faulknor, HMS Eskimo and HMS Escapade, departing Rosyth 2 hours later. |
