just heading to work on the M4 Westbound, as I approached the A33, noticed lots of blue lights above the roundabout.
As I got closer, saw a vehicle (armoured car) slightly bigger than a van, blue, with battenburg markings, escorting a dark blue artic, both with blue lights.
I'm intrigued...

Bullion perhaps?

Something from AWE I'd guess, either Aldermaston or Burghfield.

A33 is more likely to be Burghfield. That's where they build the bombs.

AWE is where they research and maintain them.
