Blue passports

[darmstadt]

when I moved out here, my passport wasn't blue or black, the black one came a bit later due to a strike at the Passport Office. I had one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britis...#39;s_passport

Mine too.

The photos on the web of the more recent passports are also black. I can only assume that they used to be dark blue in the 1950's.

Which is the last time most kippers ever had a passport.
