1984 Maiden Voyage
Courtesy of Lynn Hurlstone (Now Hart)
Lynn recalls;
At the launch of the Royal Princess in Southampton - we were the 'guides' - stayed
onboard for the week and showed round the press and visitors. I had the
'privilege' of operating the lift on the big day for HRH Princess of Wales - Diana! I shall never forget it - it was the day she wore tights with little bows on her ankles..!
October 1987.
L-R:
Debbie Rimmer (am I right? Not sure what happened to this lady - she lived in Caversham I remember), Amanda Sinnatt (before she married Roger Dobney), Jane Howard, David Charles (Charlie), James Cusick, Jane Hunt, Tracy Piper (Ents - my great buddy) and Lynn Hurlstone.

1984 Engine Control Room
Courtesy of Don Cole
This was taken on the Royal Princess maiden voyage in 1984, and is Jimmy Shaw (3 Eng) and Jan Bacon (PRS) who I have noted is still at sea (as Restaurant Manger) and is in the latest photo's of "Miss Jones" paying off for the last time. They must have just had a round of drinks delivered for the poor old 12-4 in the control room and I don't think Jim was too pleased that I had taken the photo.
