Description:

I have the British India freighter down as the "BANKURA", very distinctive design. The tanker however is a complete mystery to me. UK registered and apparently with a wooden wheelhouse and thats all I can tell. The photo was taken from the Britsh Signal in 1965. If anyone can help with the identity of the tanker I would be greatful.

David, you could well be correct as I came across the Bulimba a number of times in my travels. I penciled "Bankura" on the slide mount but as it was often months between taking a photo and posting the film back to Kodak or Agfa for developing ther was plenty of time for the memory to play tricks!
Regards,
Alastair

Can't help with the name of the tanker.
However, from basic shape of letters visible in full-sized file, I think that the BI ship is possibly the 'Bulimba' rather than 'Bankura'.
