Ronnie Keir my shipmate from the Eurofreighter and the Euroliner is on tv. There is a program tonight and next Tuesday, Channel 5 @ 8pm. The program is about the QE2. I don’t know which night Ronnie is on, it may be both nights.
During his apprenticeship Ronnie worked on the building of the QE2. He then served as Chief Engineer on her. By the time Ronnie retired he had been Chief Engineer on the QE2, Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Victoria.
Hi Guys,
For those of you who do not know Ronnie passed away in 2018 see the link below.
I sailed with Ronnie many times on the Eurofeighter, good guy. I doubt very much if you get shore side engineers going to sea as Juniors these day , it is a thing of the past but I am glad it was also one of them.
John
