Hi where the motor fishing vessels crewed by naval or civilian crew, and where is the best place to get information on the vessels, any information on motor fishing vessel 111 greatfully received.
Is this the correct one HMS MFV 111 (MFV 111) of the Royal Navy - British Motor Fishing Vessel of the MFV 1 class - Allied Warships of WWII - uboat.net
This is MFV 324 - but I would guess they are all pretty much the same - I would also suggest that you might need to start researching this aspect of their service - Royal Naval Patrol Service - Wikipedia and its various links, perhaps others have more detailed and direct information MFV 324; Fishing vessel; Service vessel; Royal Navy motor fishing vessel - National Maritime Museum TD
wookey I would guess they would have been crewed by RN personnel - but dont take that as gospel from someone with my naval knowledge, however I forgot to add this link to service records Request records of deceased service personnel which you should apply for, note dont forget to fill in the relevant section for his arm of service (RN) TD
