Hello John, dont think so.I signed on the BECKENHAM Feb '52 thru July '52 so it would seem the trip before you! What dates were you on the WILLESDEN ?

I joined the Willesden in Avonmouth the end of June 1952,done two trips on her and then she went into dry-dock,took a weeks leave and they asked me to join the Beckenham. I should have stayed with Watts Watts,great crew,good trips,and a good position,but my girl friend wanted me home,six months later she dumped me.
