Am guessing ON 18 as you mention Swedish ships

Well, as I don't know where Methil is . . .
I've spotted 4 escorts in total. At the time of my initial approach I could only ID one, but I knew there'd
have to be more. :p
It's hard to get an exact count of ships, as I've no wish to keep my scope up that long. But that seems to be about right: 5 columns of around 9-10 ships per column (got a better count this time). So that's likely the convoy. All I can say for sure is that there are NO British ships in the central columns. And I can't see far enough to the outer ones to ID them. --mutters--
Right now I have this VERY intense desire to, once I've crept out the back, to surface and thumb my nose at them, blow raspberries and go "Nyah! Nyah! Snuck right through you!" . . . but somehow I think that would be a bad idea!:rotfl:
