Many years ago, possibly 9 or 10, i was at my local Farmer's Market when i saw a cahp in a QM2 baseball cap, i was wearing my QE2 Crew windproof at the time. We got chatting and he turned out to have been a Purser on QE2 when she went south in 1982. He said that he had a CD of photos he'd taken during the trip and would i like a copy!
Anyway a week or so later he phoned to say the CD was ready so i drove out to collect it, he lives in a village about 4 miles away. It's fascinating to look through these private photos, i'm sorry but i won't publish any without his permission.
A couple of years later my wife and i went to the village's AmDram production of 'Goodnight Mr Tom', an excellent production by the way, and in one of the scenes there was a RN Officer, dressed in a Cunard 2nd Purser's uniform!! No idea's where that costume came from!!
Sadly i haven't seen him in a few years and don't even know if he's still alive, i must check with a friend who knows him through the AmDram society.
Another job for lock down, look through his CD again.
