Review:
Synopsis:
"An eye-catching reference book packed with enough facts and specifications to satisfy the technophile and richly illustrated with rare archival photos of 150 years of royal travel through the Commonwealth, this book is a fitting historical account of the technological development and advancement of transport through the last century. An interesting study not only of transportation but also its patrons.
Canada Post, April 2006
The conveyance of royalty, whether to Balmoral or Buffalo, by Rolls Royce or Canadian Pacific train, has its own mysterious traditions and protocols. With dry humour and a keen sense of history, Peter Pigott describes how the British royal family has adapted to technological innovations. Organised thematically, the book is packed with well-researched details. We know all about the royal family's lives, especially their romances and scandals, but do we know who was the first monarch to drive a motorcar? The first to fly in an aircraft? Which king so loved his yacht that he ordered it scuttled on his death? The book offers a fascinating look at how British royalty has travelled since the invention of steam. This richly illustrated book covers all modes of royal transport in Britain and the Commonwealth - some of the most famous and yet unknown transport in the world.
