People of Note - Dr Stephen Payne OBE

--:--

I’m excited to bring you a special edition of People of Note this week which I recorded on board Queen Mary 2 somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. On board was the man who actually designed the ship, the Nautical Architect DR STEPHEN PAYNE OBE and he gave a fascinating series of lectures on board which I found completely satisfying. So I approached him and asked him to share some of his achievements with this massive ocean liner on People of Note. He agreed and we had a fascinating conversation which you can hear on People of Note this week.
