P8044, a Vosper Type II MTB(?)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello everyone,  Looking for information on P8044, a Vosper Type II MTB(?). I believe she started out as MTB 531 when ordered but then designated as CT 44.  She was then reassigned as P8044 serving out of St Angelo in Malta.
My Father served on her as a PO in the early/mid '50s in Malta.  She was featured in the 'Spifires of the Sea" promotional video for "Senior Service' cigarettes.

My father built a detailed model of P8004 that, after some neglect, I am trying to restore. 

I am looking for any information of her activities, where she might have ended up and details of her deck layout, especially her mast and equipment configuration. (I have a few bits and pieces that I want to identify and correctly locate.)

In advance, Thank you.
