Prince Philip visited Brisbane quite a few times. Not always for big public events. Was familiar enough with the city road network that could tell when was not being taken by the most direct route
Friend who was in the Police group that looked after dignitaries reckoned he was the only one who would pull them up and want to go the shortest route not the ‘safe’ route. No good telling him this was the short route as he was able to say which way they should be going and this was not it
i went to school down the road from qld government house and a few times he stopped when we were all out the front to wave at him as he went past.
they both did on one occasion i can recall, bloody long time ago :p

Hopefully it will get there with out a repair stop[bigrolf][biggrin]
Edit....Seems they have been thinking ahead, this from another article about the modified Defender," In the unfortunate event that the vehicle breaks down, another identical example is waiting in the wings if needed."[bigrolf]
