Re: QE2 Exterior Shots ( Full View)
Great shots. She is simply awesome, I will never forget the very first time I saw her appear on the Mersey in 1991, I had never seen anything like it before. It was like poetry in motion.
Re: QE2 Exterior Shots ( Full View)
I particulally love to see shots of her bow taken from the water-line.
Re: QE2 Exterior Shots ( Full View)
Yes true Bill the shots taken when the ship is at anchor and from the tenders are always the best

Hey Richard, Yep I needed to do a bit of tidying up with my Photobucket account and this in turn created a number of images that I hadn't as yet posted. So all in all a worthwhile exercise. Glad you like thie image...

Although it's undated it was obviously taken before QE2's 1972 refit.

Given her "clean" condition I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't from her maiden season.

One of my favourites - this shows the utter perfection of her design before any changes were done.
Re: QE2 Exterior Shots ( Full View)
