    If anyone has a photo of 'BLACKHEATH' WW2, I would be grateful for a copy/link - one of my dad's ships. Thank you. Happy New Year to all of you.

    Regards

    Further my post #12

    The gentleman from WW was Mr John Marquis

    When they put WW vessels under CL they wanted London names so named two vessels "Putney" and "Mortlake"

    but the Deep Sea boys complained as they were not certain what ships they would be joining, at the same time CL took over Queenships so it was decided to change the WW names to co-ordinate with the Queen ships, also Reg Rate from Queen ships joined CL and he worked closely with John Marquiss

    So "Putney" became "Balmoral Queen" and "Mortlake" became "Windsor Queen"

    The "Putney" was originally the "Cardiffbrook" and I think the "Mortlake" was the "Warwickbrook" but not certain on this latter ship

    That's about as far as my addled memory will go so far.

    Went onboard one of the "Wendover" class in Australia once, must say that WW certainly gave all crew members sumptuous cabins and messrooms etc compared to vessels in some of the so-called good companies
