P Mcgrath, QE2 Waiter, T.O.W. Columbia ? -1986

[Patrick]

Worked on QE2 up till 86 refit in Bremen. Wish i had gone back to be honest. Joined QE2 as a commis waiter after NSTC in Gravesend. Worked in the wardroom with then went to the Tables Of The World then finished off in the Columbia. Some familiar names were Andrew Nelder, Dave Chambers, John Davies. I am trying to find John Turner, David Shaw and Peter Luff, does anybody have any idea if they went back after the refit ? or has anybody got any idea where they are.

Hope you enjoy being a member of the Forum and posting memories of your time onboard QE2.

  Pater Luff, does anybody have any idea if they went back after the refit ? or has anybody got any idea where they are.

Do you mean Peter Luff? If so l remember him being onboard in June 1986 and serving on my table, A great guy, he was serving with Mark Skelton.
I would be happy to privately email a photo just to make sure its the same guy
Cheers

Turns out it was the same guy, it is a small world on QE2

Mark and Peter, my first introduction to the lovely waiter service.

Well it just shows what a small world it is, since my first trip in 1986 and now some 29 years later thanks to here and Facebook made contact with my very first two waiters..

Cheers
