Does anyone know the U-boat that on 6 May 1916 rescued and took prisoner FS/LT ATM Conley (P) and LT RM Inge (O) after their plane S 184 8083 was forced down in the sea?

According to Ray Sturtivant's "RNAS Aircraft Serials and Units" this Short 184 Ser. 8038 Force landed from Dover and was captured by a German torpedo boat on 6 May 1916. Flown by FSL ATN COWLEY (Arthur Thomas Noel) and OSL RM INGE RNVR. INGE was a former Signalman RNVR (London Z/604).

In my notes, I have it as the German torpedo boats (destroyers to everybody else) V 47 and V 67 but offhand am note sure of the source of that.
