Yes, let's get a few names then see who's nearest to me - might be able to do another very safe person to person handover. :)

I would be interested in July, when I expect to have a period of leisure :) .

Hi Peter -

Did you have a bit of a visit with Captain McNaught upon QE2's return ?

Not this time June, it had to be a secure postal return.

Below is the most recent list I can find for who wants to do this one; I have struck through those who have done it.

Who on the list is in the UK please?  And who is nearest to Epsom?


Hi Isabelle - Great news that QE2 Jigsaw Liverpool Calling will soon continue her refit.

Hi Rob - I think that is a marvelous idea to ask Ian and Sue McNaught to do the puzzle.  Will you ask them perhaps ?

Hi Lynda - I am sure after the New Year would be fine.

Revised list -

Peter M.
Ian and Sue M. ?
Pete C.
Isabelle P.
Alan S.
Jim B. ?
John ?
Catherine ?
Lynda B.
June
Rod ?

June   :D

If there are no takers at the moment in the UK, maybe our QE2 (jigsaw) would like to make an Atlantic crossing ?   :)

Since Fall is here and thoughts may be turning to inside pursuits, does anyone in the UK want to do a refit on QE2 (jigsaw - Peter Mugridge's marvelous painting "Evening at Sea") ? 

It would be good for QE2 (jigsaw) to do a "Round UK Cruise" before starting on her next Transatlantic.

If I may be so bold... I'd love to have a go at this over the Christmas / New Year's break, when the UK shipyards will have done their thing. If I may :) .

Does anyone's shipyard have an opening before Christmas/New Year's break ?   :)

The voyage is under way and will take roughly the same length of time as the real QE2 would for an Atlantic crossing; for anyone wishing to follow her on AIS ( a.k.a. Royal Mail Trace and Trace ) the call sign ( a.k.a. tracking number ) is RN 211 205 8GB.

I rather like the first two letters in the code!
