QE2 - penultimate voyage...

...A firework display will mark the departure of the Cunard vessel from her home port of Southampton on Sunday.
The 40-year-old liner will leave in tandem with the firm's latest addition, Queen Victoria, which is departing on her maiden Atlantic crossing.
The ships will travel to New York alongside each other...

Hope you are out there with the light box, DickieP !!
:cool:

Any excuse to let off more sodding fireworks, I suppose they will have to go to the pub till eleven then let the bloody things off when we are all in bed, even though it's dark from 4.0pm onwards, and were supposed to be saving the planet :evil:

DP,
Did you spot Victoria too?

if the Oceans were not so vast they'd look congested !

Having spot of bother with GEarth, fails in error after a while of reasonable use... Didn't know about the 'tracker' sounds good.

Things notso good for the French fishermen down your way.
-p-
 
the google earth one is brilliant because that actually puts you on board via their web cams also you can see where the ship is heading or where she has come from, I don't have it, a friend googled it and it came up as one of the options and when he clicked on down load it added something to my Google earth and now has the option to spot the ocean going liners. Only them, no other ships, I think it uses the ships company logo as the identification spot and when you zoom in, an image of a ship becomes clear, click on that and more details about the ship etc appear.
No good to you if your earth thingy aint working, ''what everrrr'' ;)
yep! sad about those fishermen, I don't have a problem with the french, blooming good sailors.
Nah! missed Victoria.
