Just to give you an update. I wasn't able to find any names of possible crew from among the former members of the CFVA. John Lambert gives this boat as a Vosper 73' Type II, ordered in 1943, but only completed in 1947 as a Control Target Boat (CTB 44). I haven't been able to find any reference to the re-designation as P 8044, nor what other boats may have formed part of its flotilla, apart from P 8045 you identified in your post on
P 8044. There are references within the membership list to other CTBs, and to P 1044, but that was a later Vosper Type 'B' Fast Patrol Boat design which went by the name
Gay Bruiser.
