Hello Morrrm11
MTB and MGB 17 were two distinct boats which were both lost but on different dates. It appears from the mention of D-Day that MGB 17 lost to a mine on 11th June 1944 would be the boat in question. Could you please give us your father’s full name and I could see if I have any details confirming his boat. There are some photographs of the boat and members of the flotilla, including the one time Commanding Officer of MGB 17, Charles Arthur Burk, who was Canadian, in the earlier part of this thread, if you happen to recognise your father by chance.
