I stumbled on this video yesterday, which I can't see a record off on the forum on a quick search.

It has some nice scenes.

- The coffee bar in use
- The Queens room "half lit" - I was familiar with this arrangement when the ship was old, but its nice to see it here - with the "dim end" looking lovely with the underlit planters illuminating those amazing chairs.
- Classic Cars being loaded

There is also something shown for the Daily Mail Transatlantic Air Race 1969 - what was this about and how did it relate to QE2?

I've also attached some screenshots from the video.
