I think most of the "Q" flotilla were sold abroad, did not the Ozzies get Queenborough as well?

Quail and Quentin were war losses. Quilliam went to the Netherlands as HNLMS Banckert.
The remainder; Quadrant, Queenborough, Quality, Quiberon and Quickmatch all went to the Royal Australian Navy. They we all converted to Type 15 Anti Submarine Frigates postwar.
Some more photos of the Class:

thanks Jim, fine collection of pictures, glad my memory was right about sales. The Emergency destroyers were without doubt good lookers....
