Convoy Information:
I decided to take a training convoy to Rheinland,;cargo outward was Beryllium Ore to Dortmund and returning with Aluminium Ore to Stokes for Hull panel production.
This was Mr Jones' 1st convoy as the Scout and the first time I have flown with some of our new Trade Captains. It was nice to have some veterans along that I have not seen for some time too.

Convoy Incidents:
No incidents that threatened the safety of the Convoy. Young Tim did a good job of scouting ahead, he did however get a little distracted with some Rookie Hessians and was tempted to give chase in Stuttgart; he must remember the safety of the convoy comes first and should not give chase, once a threat is out of range he should ensure the convoy passes safely to the next way point, the other escorts should assist with this, in case the pirate threat returns.

Other Notes:
We had a little trouble with Comm's chatter again, please remember gents that the Group Channel is for the purposes of the Convoy communicating locations and status, please use the other frequency for "chit-chat".
Also I believe that this convoy proved we should fly with at least 2 ExSec pilots, if Mr Jones had run into any difficulty he would have been hard pressed to defend the convoy on his own, I was glad to have Mr Peters along to watch our rear!
