Interestingly, "Liverpool Calling" is the only one of the four jigsaws which is an actual photo of QE2.

I think I should add, I'm measuring the journey time from when the post departs the local collections office, not the time I'm actually handing it over!

She has arrived in Cornwall but unfortunately the pilot was engaged on other duties. QE2 has anchored off and will have to wait until Saturday when the crew will be available to bring her in.

Hmmm.... not the first time QE2 has festered in the Cornish area for a few days is it...?

Alan - a thought; have you contacted the Royal Mail to arrange collection or delivery on Saturday? Special Delivery post is only held for a very few days before being returned to sender; far fewer than Recorded items are.

Hi Peter,
According to the card left by post office they keep parcels for 18 days so hopefully should be bringing her in tomorrow.

Great to see her continuing her Round Britain Voyage.
Every refit en route will help, and will be enjoyed. Have fun, Alan, and take it at your own speed. None of us (as far as I know) can even attempt to approach Peter's timing...

Glad to hear that our QE2 (jigsaw) has made her next stop on her Round Britain Voyage. I trust your docking crew enjoyed mooring her and that the puzzle crew is waiting in anticipation of her refit. Enjoy, Alan, as you see her take shape during this refit !

Making good progress with the Cornish refit. I have taken a couple of photos which I will try to post over the weekend.
I had forgotten just how quickly an hour or two can disappear whilst sitting over a jigsaw puzzle.

How long did it take you to locate the stowaway piece?
