As Alan I have only came across this topic which is shocking behaviour given how long I've been reading this forum!!
I didnt think it was possible to miss a ship I'd never set foot on but there you go I do!
I was given the chance of a cabin on the 2007 Round Britain but I lacked the funds (and the leave) to go. How I wish.....
Anyway - I can (to an extent) experience QE2 through the memories of those on this forum who did sail or crew the girl and I thank you all for that from the bottom of my Clydebuilt heart...
And now I've a lump in my throat too!! Best
it!!
