Possibly i've posted this before so if i have then apologies, put it down to an 'reaction' to my 2nd Corona vaccination!
Anyway, one day on QE2 a American Gentleman passenger came to the Security Office and asked if he could have a chat, in his hand he had a bag. He sat down and we chatted about general things relating to QE2, my previous Service life and then he got round to asking if i was interested in old Cunard clocks! When i said that i was always interested in any old QE2 Memorabilia he open the bag and produced an old Cunard clock, he actually told me which ship it had come from but, sad to say, over the years i've forgotten which one it was!
This clock was originally a pulse clock, for those unfamiliar with this type of clock it was connected to a central clock which sent out a pulse of electricity which kept the clock reading the correct time, not dissimilar to the 'Master clock & Slave clock ' system. This particular clock had been altered, for obvious reasons, to now be run by a small battery operated time piece.
Attached are a few photos of the clock which now stands proudly in my bathroom.
