Was the late Bill Campbell the C.E. on that trip?

Checked with Dave but regrettably the name is not familiar to him but it is nearly 50 years ago & Senior Moments are frequent these days. KIWI

Thanks for checking Kiwi. Bill (Willie) Campbell was CE on her late 60s/early 70s & she had a 'major breakdown' which also caused him to almost have the same !! Thanks for the reply.
