QE2 and Ships Monthly
« on: Oct 17, 2017, 08:46 PM »
There is a very nice article over 8 pages about our ship in the Ships Monthly magazine
It should be available in the newsagents this week...
From the moment you first glimpsed the Queen,
 you just knew you were in for a very special time ahead.!

I got my copy of Ships Monthly in Glasgow today, and just sat and read Stephen's article - absolutely superb.

Our conference also gets a lengthy mention in the editorial at the start - although it doesn't mention what group organised it...

Michael's book also gets a glowing review at the end, I think by Stephen himself.

If I had known that Ships Monthly were running that article, I'd have placed an advert in the magazine for the website.  I'm going to drop the editor a note and ask that he tips us off next time there's anything QE2 related going in.

With permission of the Editor, I post here his editorial, which pays tribute both to the QE2, and to the wonderful QE2 Story 50 Conference.
