CONVOY MKF 24

The document from which I've transcribed this information gives departure date (from Gibraltar?) as Sept. 28-1943, arrival Clyde Oct. 7.

Arnold Hague gives departure Port Said Sept. 17-1943, arrival Clyde Oct. 7 (12 ships).
There was also a Convoy MKF 24A, leaving Gibraltar on Oct. 12, arriving Loch Ewe on the 18th (2 ships).

Transcribed from 3 documents received from Tony Cooper - His source: Public Records Office, Kew.
