Remember when the UK passport was quite cumbersome - the one just below was issued in 1986...BUT at least the holder could smile! The passport pictured below was 4 inches wide by 6 inches tall with 30 pages for visas. Earlier versions also had a sheet as the last page for noting the amount of currency being taken out of the country when currency controls were in place. |

The passport was later reduced to pocket size (3 1/2 x 5 inches) with a new burgundy booklet circa 1988 and has continued to go through several changes over the years. |
