HMPMS Queen of the North

[SKBob]

My research has thrown up a chap drowned whilst serving on HMPMS Queen of the North which I believe was a paddle minesweeper which hit a mine off Orford Ness on 20/7/17. I have manged to find some pics from the web but can anyone come up with further info on the crew / circumstances of the sinking etc ?

Thanks a lot people
