Q e

[David Plank]

I spent my last days at sea on the Q.E taking her to Port Everglades in Florida Oct 1968.Stayed with her until July 1969 when we were paid off after the venture fell through to turn her into a hotel.I married an American girl in June of 1969 and we came back to England for two years but then returned to Florida and I have lived here ever since .Best move I've ever made.Anyway I digress,Iwas on the Q E for 58 transatlantic trips and 5 cruises to the carib. and Med.Passed the Mary on her last trip to Long beach ,great blowing of horns and waving.I would like to hear from anyone from those last years.My name is David Plank and I was an AB.My Email is DIGGERDAVID@HOTMAIL.COM ,cheers Dave P..
