Royal visits

[fitter]

Prince Edward and Princess Royal at Doxfords 1929. windy day. So that's where Kate Middleton got the idea from

Doxfords main office. A luxurious place. Superb builders models all around. looks like model of Yngaren engine. Robert Doxford in attendance. Up a huge wide opulent staircase was a gallery surrounded by offices. A huge roof window provided perfect natural light

King George 5th and Mary. The car's the star

It is as well!!

One spare in the normal position and another on the roof, just in case!

They came for a three day visit in June 1917. Assume this was it?

I don't know the dates so I will take your word for it. I am learning that you are inherently accurate and wouldn't dare to contradict you I wondered what the car was, its a shame that the other cars cannot be seen fully, I like the look of the rearmost left one. The driver seems to have gloves on and a hat in one hand.

I don't always get it right!!

But we try our best!!

Don't have a clue about any of the cars though. They all look like something you would borow from the Undertaker.

You must know some very good natured undertakers, most I have had to do with wouldn't lend you a hymn sheet at a funeral service, except for a small fee or gratuity.

Only knew one Undertaker personally and I was quite young at the time.

He had a shady past having been in the States during Prohibition!
