1982: QE2 leaves for the Falklands
I was going through some photographs of my late aunt and uncle and came across this one of the QE2 departing Southampton to The Falklands during the war

We were flying back to NZ on BA when QE2 was "called up" to be a troop ship. BA upgraded us "cattle class" passengers to "Club" and then allocated our seats to QE2 passengers who were offloaded from their cruise!!! Our gain!
