14th November 2008 : Shock as QE2 is gutted for life as floating hotel
« on: Nov 14, 2019, 12:04 PM »
This is a bit of an odd one...

My photo archive popped up today with one of those "on this day" things.  And here's what it has... (attached).  It says 11 years ago, so 14-November-2008.

I don't remember anything about it, or speaking to them, but it has reminded me that the press had my number, even before I started this site...

Back then l guess did we really have any idea of what lay ahead for QE2 and what the ultimate plans were for her .
