Kustenflieger,
The attribution of UB 104 sinking Malvina is incorrect. If you look at UB 104's KTB you'll note that she isn't off Flamborough Head until the morning of August 3, 1918 and sinks a vessel there midday on the 3rd. Malvina, per British sources is sunk at about 4:30am (as I recall) on August 2nd. The French steamer Cambrai was, however, sunk off Flamborough Head within a mile of the location given in UB 104's KTB on August 3. There's no attribution in Spindler for teh sinking of Cambrai...
Best wishes,
Michael
