Re: Liberator V/86 Squadron - HM Submarine Sunfish

hello,

Here are some details that are on the uboat.net website.

"Transferred to Soviet Navy on 10 April 1944, commissioned on 26 June 1944 as V-1.
Bombed in error by a RAF Coastal Command Liberator off Norway, during passage from Dundee to Murmansk on 27 July 1944. V-1 (Capt. 2nd Class Fisanovic) was not in her assigned area and she was diving when the aircraft came in sight instead of staying on the surface and firing recognition signals as instructed. All crew including the British liaison staff were lost."

Are you seeking the names of the British liason staff on board ?

B.1 (Russian), submarine
RAVENSDALE, Sidney, Petty Officer Telegraphist, D/J 87505, (Ambrose, O/P), MPK

From another great website naval-history.net

Hope this is a small help.
Alex
