Re: Queen Mary
Judging by the look of her a place at Alang beach may be a better solution.
But chapter eleven is not such a terrible thing, it basically allows you to carry on

Re: Queen Mary
I did two trips aboard her late sixties Night Gang. Scrubbed and polished her decks stem to stern. Considering all that emotional attachment I'll check down the back of my sofa and see if I can afford to put in a bid for her.

Re: Queen Mary
Well, anything is possible.
Friend of ours in Texas has just bought, for the sum of one dollar, an old 747.
Not sure what he will do with it as it sits in an aircraft graveyard.
Happy daze John in Oz.
