What have various Captains?Chief Engineers/Chief Doctors etc done since QE2? eg still worked for Cunard/other ships/lines?/Retired/Sadly passed away etc
Some Captains seem to be better documented than others
What ship is *Capt Perkins on for instance ? see profile for Captain Perkins
Hope this thread might be of interest in  building up a general picture

*Note: Captain Perkins died January 2021

With no doubt a most difficult period in QE2's history. Our sympathies to his family

Cruise Director, Warren Smith - Where is he now - he did a stint aboard QM2 in 2009 but have since left Cunard?

Paul Yeoman was going to one of the P&O ships, or was it Princess.
From the moment you first glimpsed the Queen,

I think David Perkins is on P&O...think I've seen somewhere about him having stints on Aurora and Oriana.

I wonder if he'll return to Cunard with the impending need for extra officers in October... :-\

Last I heard (May 2010) was that Warren Smith is with P&O Australia.

Can anyone remember the name of the 4 stripe officer (possible staff captain) in this photo? It was taken in the Queens Grill around 1982/3



Thanks

 Its Staff captain Harvey Smith, I think he is retired in 1992 to Romsey.

Does anyone know what happened to Engineer Office Martin Harrison, from the 1970's - 80's?
