That's an interesting one to see.
Must be taking home the Russian spies today.
Cheers
Pete.

If I confirmed it I would probably get poisoned! However 23 spies and familes etc (around 80 people plus pets) left the Russian embassy this morning

Well done on capturing it Andy - shame the sun let you down Andy (and that I couldn't be there!)

Glad to see that you got to capture this rare beastie, not many chances to see these in the western world these days.
In a similiar vain I recall being at Heathrow when the UK expelled the Libyan Embassy staff after the WPC Yvonne Fletcher murder. Never seen so many police cars in my life.
