AN HISTORICALLY INTERESTING WATERLINE CONCEPT MODEL BY JOHN BROWN & CO. FOR THE `Q3` PROJECT, LATTERLY THE QE2, CIRCA 1961, with laminated and carved hull, painted in Cunard livery of black, red below the waterline, white superstructure with lavender grey decks, simplified fittings including carved lifeboats in davits, two carved funnels and applied paper windows set on a painted waterline display base with maker`s label inscribed MODEL BY CHARLES N LONGBOTOM LONDON within associated period case with hinged end panel and silvered plaque engraved Q3 Cunard (later) -- overall measurements 11½ x 43½ x 10¼in. (29 x 110.5 x 26cm.), As Cunard`s great-but-ageing Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary approached retirement, plans were set in hand to organise their replacement. The "Q3" project was initiated in December 1960 when Cunard`s Chairman, Sir John Brocklebank, invited six builders to suggest tenders. The original idea was to replace the two retiring liners with one superliner and the model offered here represents John Brown`s offering. However, with the emergence of cheap transatlantic flights, it soon became apparent that the age of massive liners was at an end and the project was shelved in October 1961. Much had been learnt and, out of the ashes of the "Q3" project was born the "Q4" project in August 1964 with builders now instructed to design a smaller, faster, more versatile and "top flight" cruise ship - a project that was ultimately won by John Brown and which became the famous QE2 - many of whose design attributes are recognisable from this rare model, such as her iconic bow, funnel and superstructure.

A Bassett-Lowke 1:1200 Compagnie Generale Transatlantique Liner Normandie, 1935 - 1939, overall VG, some paint flaking to bow CAPTAIN DEREK HEAD, VRD, FRIBA, DL, RNR. Derek Head was born in Malta in 1925. He went into the Royal Navy in 1942, and was commissioned into the Royal Naval Voluntary Reserve. He served in Home Waters and in the Far East and was awarded the Voluntary Reserve Decoration at the end of the war. His time in the Navy gave him a valuable background knowledge of warships and an introduction to ship recognition models. During wartime Bassett-Lowke produced a large number of allied and enemy warship models which had practical uses of teaching aids and for warship recognition. Derek Head spent 60 years acquiring the most comprehensive collection of Bassett-Lowke models, both warships and merchant ships, and acquired virtually all the Bassett-Lowke models which had been made. He acquired a deep and extensive knowledge of these models and this unique knowledge was brought together into a book, Bassett-Lowke Waterline Ship Models, which is now considered the definitive authority on this subject. Derek Head also collected waterline ship models, scaled one inch to a hundred foot, from a wide range of model makers, but all are of a particularly high standard of accuracy and skill of construction. His collection at the time of his death numbered around 2,500, probably one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of its type in the world, certainly in the case of Bassett-Lowke ship models. In the catalogue, dates indicated after liners are their years in service
