Hallo TW,

Ergänzung zu der Minenoperation "PW 1"  https://www.historisches-marinearchiv.de/projekte/mtb_mgb/ausgabe.php?where_value=1134:

BR 1736 (56)(1) - British Mining Operations 1939-1945, Vol. I:

The first MTB mining operation was carried out on the night of 7th January, by three boats of the 4th MTB Flotilla operating from BEEHIVE at Felixtowe.
MTB 31 carried torpedoes and was responsible for leading the force; MTBs 32 and 34 were loaded with four mines each, with period delay mechanisms (PDMs) set to two, three, four and five days. The lay was completed successfully and apparently unobserved, eight A Ml 1 mines being laid in a line between, and just ot the east of, Nos 1 and 2 buoys in the Zuydcote Pass.
