Farewell to the QE2!
A Solent Outside Broadcast
In association with the BBC
First-class technical support!
Cameras in the sky and on-board ship
Radio Links Aerials
Feed into the links truck
Solent cameras in the BBC mobile studio
all arrive in the Solent truck
Last minute checks…
Dishes beam live pictures
The band begins to play
The sun goes down…
The temperature drops!
And cue the lights!
We are live on air to BBC1!
Here come the tug-boats…
And a flotilla of well-wishers
The end of an era…
Farewell QE2!a Solent University/BBC production
