00.26 Defaced Red or Blue Ensign? I saw a film a while ago showing the RMS Queen Elizabeth flying a Blue Ensign. I gather there were regulations on ownership and staffing by a percentage of ex RN officers. I do wonder if anything commercial still flies a Blue Ensign?
We have travelled three times with Cunard's Captain Christopher Wells (once on Queen Mary 2 and twice on Queen Elizabeth). Each time the blue Ensign was flown. The last voyage was 2019.
44 years at sea no British cargo ships left. It’s a sad times for British Seaman even worse now P&O have turned there back on British Seaman and sacked them all 🤷♂️
Well said Ivan I’ve been going to sea since 78 no British ships left apart from a few here and there and the RFA who are the biggest employers. Those were the days of the great shipping companies and good old runs ashore
Great film. Thank you! How about the radio officer? Separate film? Greetings from Norway!
So glad you enjoyed it Torgeir! You might like this website www.radioofficers.com
