both have retired now, Manchesters final mission was in the carrabean after that she went to liverpool for people to have a look around (like me) i live in manchester and ship of the same name makes us proud. the same with QE2 nice video mate :)
Great footage, Rob. Seeing the incomparable and much-missed QE2 is always a pleasure but shots of a fine Batch-3 Type 42 at speed is an extra bonus. To think that the QE2 could outrun her is awe-inspiring! Thanks for sharing.
Looks like Balmoral is making a good attempt at keeping up too though ! Doesnt the QE2 just have the lines of a beautiful yacht. Still completely modern 40 years later.
