Although I didn't record the date of Leda's arrival on this occasion I imagine it was in the mid 1960's
The fishing vessel in the foreground which seems to have gathered a small knot of interested onlookers is the Polish-flagged trawler/drifter RASZKA ... she was one of a class of 26 (B17 design) vessels built at Gdansk between 1955-1957 by Stocznia Polnocna

I think that the vessel just visible alongside at Readheads is either Amra or Aska, for British India, which would date the picture between the launch of Amra in June 1969 and the completion of Aska in May 1970.
