There is a couple of shots of her taken during the patrol over the sea in 1940. IMHO the most interesting one is a shot with the H Class destroyer HMS Highlander (H44) wearing the wartime dazzle livery like her series brother HMS Hesperus (H57) seen below.

Everything from fighters to peanuts was brought to the United Kingdom by a convoy of ships, escorted partly by United States vessels, which has now arrived safely at a British port after crossing the Atlantic from America. As soon as the convoy arrived with all this lease-lend help, the docks became a hive of industry. Part of an American bomber is being landed from one of the ship's of the convoy at the British port on September 18, 1941.
