QE2 - Fifty years famous
3rd March 2022, 19:00 - 21:00
Join Hamble River Sailing Club and guest speaker Eric Flounders on Thursday 3rd March 2022 at 1900 for the talk titled 'QE2 - Fifty years famous!'
The talk covers confusion in the Cunard board in trying to decide on replacements for Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth - confusion verging on ineptitude - and goes on to describe the struggle to actually build her, her inauspicious trials, the naming error and her final emergence as a record breaking war veteran and style icon.
