The launch of the Queen Elizabeth 2, popularly known as the QE2, at Clydebank on 20 September 1967.
It is amazing to think that only 40 years ago they built big ships in Clydebank. Changed days indeed. I can remember watching the launch of the QE2 on a grainy black and white television in our classroom at New Gilston Primary School (school population about 25). It is rather sad that she ran aground on her last voyage.
The QE2 has had some great adventures since then. Now she is heading off into semi retirement. Good luck with your new career in sunny Dubai.
