LOL Paul i missed that little hand signal. Can ya imagine the fruture tiffs when 'backseat' driver is a Royal Princess! UGH. Best I can tell shes keeper though.

OH Oh, my own Princess just corrected me, who watched this on TV - said Kate is not back seat driving/advising, just waving at crowd tooling along slowly. Still a nice Royal Blue Cdo.

I recall the '72 750 Commando interstate blue was called "French Blue".

HA must of been meant as slur to the French designers that helped Pa Norton get his start, to associate Combat Bombs with such a color code.

Speaking as a loyal subject, I suspect this is a compromise between the Navy blue of the Senior Service and the sky blue of the RAF (which Willie represents) :mrgreen: .

Pretty sure it says something in HM Highway Code about driving with 'due care and attention'- that is watching the road rather than the camera lenses :mrgreen: Perhaps Kate's reminding Willie if he remembered the starting handle and to tickle the carbs....

Nice motor though...

Looks like a Royal blew to me, I think she just gave him a backhander.
