Isn’t there a story about Queen Victoria not liking the blue light, because it wasn’t in line with all the other lights when she was going to the Royal Opera House?

I will give that to you it was Queen Victoria going to the Royal Opera House opposite. It is said that it reminded her of the Blue room at Buck House where Prince Albert died. Some doubt this reason.

Think that it was a question in a lockdown zoom quiz, was some discussion at the time about how true the story is.
Anyway back to the quiz, which country has EP as it’s aircraft registration code?
