The recording is made 5th August 1999, probably the last time ever for the "Norway" to blow her whistle in Oslo.

Wonderful Arne. I enjoyed the pics too. [ to save me posting in the other thread too, was that a tug within the mirror on the wall above the sofa?]

Quite a few on this site. In a thread here, you will find links to Arne's recording of QM2 in Geiranger Fjord and another of her greeting with Marco Polo there. Also to one in of mine, a Noon Day whistle test on her Maiden Transat.

On this webpage of mine, you'll find a couple of avi files of the whistle blowing as she departs Southampton her Maiden Voyage. There are also many others over the net.
