I've just received a copy of the attached. If it's not been seen before it might be of interest.

Thats great, where did you get it from?

I've been in touch with Sam Warwick since then but he didn't mention it.

This may be the explanation of why Captain Warwick paid a full fare on the last voyage.

Or praphaps V Ships paid for it

Vships can be viewed from www.vships.com which tells you about them, but does not mention QE2. Apparently they are a world-wide firm employing approx 24,000 crew, 1,600 shore staff from their 70 world offices. They manage approx 1,000 ships for various other companies. Since they are a professional ship-handling business, I guess they know how to look after a laid-up ship.
So, maybe they did pay for Captain Warwick's trip, the fact that they employed him makes me think they care a bit about the ship and her history.

This link to vships is interesting - (not that I know much about this sort of thing - still learning!)
They have an office in...Glasgow!
