Thanks for the good work - agreed it probably was Helford [twas a bit of a Hell ship] - could you please do her movements for 1947-04 Madras-Singapore-Rangoon.
And if you dont mind I would appreciate details of the HMT Lancashire run dep Singapore 02-06-1953 [day after Everest scaled] arr So'ton 02-07-1953 - page download would be nice.

Hello seaweed - Just found your post re Troopships - can you still do lookups as mentioned ?
I am doing a timeline of my military activity and would like to check dates for a few passages made around India, Burma, Singapore before they invented air travel !!
