In Oct 1943, MTB 675 dropped off an agent on to an island west of Askvoll, Norway. The boat was commanded by Lt Bramwell RNVR - an Irishman from Bangor. Due to bad weather the boat had to lay up under camouflage until the weather improved. On Oct 16, whilst making a dash for home, she was attacked by 6 Fw190s and was damaged. There were some casualties including a fatality or possibly more.
By chance, does anyone know the identity of those who were lost, killed in action? Secondly, was this boat used for other work in Norway? According to sources, it was attached initially to the 12th Submarine Flotilla and was fitted with davits to take two Chariots. Her aft 6 pdr was removed to accommodate the davits.
NB Chariot ops were unsuccessful in Norway and discontinued.
Many thanks in advance and kind regards,
