Sir,
I work with the Fly Navy Heritage Trust and am looking to locate some Merchant Navy veterans from the Second World War Convoys who served in the Merchant Aircraft Carriers (MAC ships) from 1942 to 1945. There were 19 MAC ships were merchant ships that were modified so that they could carry several Swordfish aircraft on their upper deck to counter the U-Boat threat but retaining the ability to carry the bulk of their cargo. Their names are:
Acavus,  Adula, Alexia, Amastra, Ancylus, Empire MacAlpine, Empire MacAndrew, Empire MacCabe,  Empire MacCallum, Empire MacColl, Empire MacDermott, Empire MacKay, Empire MacKendrick,

Empire MacMahon, Empire MacRae, Gadila, Macoma, Miralda, Rapana.

I have more details on these ships if you need it, and I hope you will be able to help.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
