1967 QE2 Jigsaw no 1 - The Cruising QE2 - Have a go!

[June Ingram]

Thank you, Isabelle.  I shall be looking forward to having QE2 arrive at my house again.  Perhaps in the interim, some more takers will come forward over here to have a go at the jigsaw.  Rod ?  And another proxy crossing for QE2.  June

[Rod]

Sure! Put me on the list!

[June Ingram]

Sure! Put me on the list!

Great, Rod !  That makes me and Rod across "the pond".  Highlander0108, how about you ?  June

[Jim Bennett]

Put me on the list. Bet I can do it quicker than Rod! 

[June Ingram]

That's great, Jim !  And it looks like we have a competition here !  Isabelle, who do we have so far ?  Rod and me in US, Jim in UK, anyone else so far ?  June

[Isabelle Prondzynski]

Put me on the list. Bet I can do it quicker than Rod! 

Great, Jim! Really happy to see you chime in -- and looking forward to news of your speedy assembly .

Would you like to start with this one, which is in the UK at the moment (awaiting news from Helen) :

If you scroll upwards, you will get to see some pictures. We believe that the two jigsaws were published together in 1967.

Like with the other one, I would be interested in having a go at some point.

Again, like with the other one, I would suggest trying to arrange things so that people who are reasonably near to each other to have it in turn to allow hand delivery as far as possible to reduce exposure to the postal system.  The last thing we need is for Postmoan Pratt to lose one of them in the mail system.

[June Ingram]

Great, Peter !  It looks like we are going to have a number of us having the pleasure of QE2 docking at our homes and us having the pleasure of "building her". 

Hand delivery is a very good idea wherever possible.  Maybe I'll have to make a return voyage on QM2 to hand deliver QE2 jigsaw and accompany her on her proxy crossing.  Someday, I hope !!

There are also some on Amazon but not the ones we are fitting together.

[Isabelle Prondzynski]

This jigsaw too is now starting its cruise. Tomorrow, it will travel to the post office and will sail away to Lynda's in Scotland.

The voyage so far :

-- from Rob in Scotland
-- to Isabelle in Ireland
-- to Lynda in Scotland

Where to next? Here are the scheduled ports of call -- not necessarily in this order :

* June
* Rod
* Jim Bennett
* Peter Mugridge

More puzzlers welcome!

[June Ingram]

Oh, this sounds marvelous !!  I shall look forward to all of the ports of call for this QE2 jigsaw, and the pier at my house is always and only reserved for our QE2 (jigsaw) !  June

[Peter Mugridge]

Perhaps we should create a "log book" of our names, dates of doing the jigsaw and maybe the time taken with this one as well?

I noted down our own details on the card that has been sent out together with the jigsaw. Looking forward to the additions!

[June Ingram]

Very good idea to add to the log as we go.
