Well I don't (or didn't) know Dave Cameron, but I did see both Vic Hesselle and Francis Gregory more than once.
Vic Hesselle was in my early days of watching and I just remember a skillful fast moving man who didn't have the weight to really trouble the top heavy men in the division.
Francis St Clair Gregory (As he was normally billed in the early 1950's) was also not really a full heavyweight, but a different type of wrestler to Vic. Francis had good strength and a lot of moves, but never really excited me the way that some did.
Thanks so much MM! Beckenham Baths was DM's first major foothold in London.
I ask Dave Cameron about all the old timers and he did see Vic Hesselle wrestle, although it was near the end of his career by that point. He saw Francis St Clair Gregory wrestle a few times too.
