Superb photos,marvellous how many previously unseen there are outhere.   I know it's on another topic somewhere on the forum, but the more I see , I 'm beginning to prefer her as 'original', so sleek & clean.

Excellent selection of images and so good to see her all shiny and new.

I will confess to being not very knowledgeable on the subject of flags (amongst many other things) so does anyone know what the white flag with the black Maltese cross on is?

[Michael Gallagher]

I think it's the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders flag - she was still the property if the yard.

These are wonderful pictures!  QE2, in my thoughts, is the most beautifully designed ship ever.  I do prefer her teenage sleekness, but like most people, she put on a little weight as she matured.  At any age, she is the superb beauty while maintaining the look of power !

Wonderful to see these photos of QE2 in her early years!
