  Amazing picures indeed. We won't need to run competitions for the 2013 and 2014 calendars now!   

Can you imagine if Cunard had the wisdom to produce them into a calendar for the final year of QE2s service, the sales along would have been mind blowing, and could well have saved QE2 from being sold..LOL

The one overhead shot was produced into a large photo/poster which was on sale during the farewell voyages. Sadly they didnt include any tubes to protect them, and mine has various creases  :(  that alone casued a few moans at the photo shop among passengers.
From the moment you first glimpsed the Queen,
 you just knew you were in for a very special time ahead.!

If you have a chance, go through this board and look at all of the beautiful pictures of our beautiful QE2 on the fifth anniversary of her exile.  These are absolutely stunning photos of our QE2 in action.

Thanks to June for reminding us about this topic where Michael Gallagher had posted some fantastic QE2 photos that we would not otherwise have seen.   :)
I was proud to be involved with planning QE2's 50 year conference in September 2017 in Clydebank

Some of those pictures are in a 2007 issue Cunard brochure and some are in the two farewell QE2 brochures aswell. Lovely pictures ;D She looks regal

Some can also be found in the little tribute book "QE2 forever", published in 2008.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful ship...  :'(

Since, there has been so much unhappy news or non-news about our QE2 of late, I thought I would post one of Michael's pictures (see above) of our beloved QE2 in happier times.  Isn't she stunning !

The photo of the ship turning to port at speed does indeed show some list to starboard, but the greatest component of the list when turning like this would have been taken out by the stabilisers if they were out.

Wow look how stunning she looks, especially in these pictures. Breathtaking :)

Let's scroll all the way to the top of this topic and look again at Michael's photos of our beloved QE2.  With all the talk of the 175th (which is due Cunard) and all the talk of QM2 (which she is due), I wanted to wrap my heart around these pictures of our ship.   :)  :(  :'(

Was this the same photograph from Michael Gallagher's Post on 16th August 2011 Cunard used for the 'Farewell' publicity posters and photographs?

Greetings All -

I bring this topic forward every once in awhile so we can view magnificent photos of our beloved QE2.  This topic, started by Michael, presents simply awesome images of QE2 doing what she does best (did best - I dislike saying the past tense so much !).

Sit back, put your feet up, and drift off to "QE2 Land".

June  :)
