A large private airplane landed on Kvernberget Thursday afternoon, but no James Bond to see.

– A Bond film worthy
Per Henry Borch, line producer for Truenorth Norway is very pleased after two days of filming on the Atlantic Road.
FILMTEAM ON THE ATLANTIC ROAD: It was a long day for the film folks Thursday - a day that also offered reckless driving up the Storseisundet Bridge.

Yeah, I'd imagine there have been a few extra pots of coffee on lately. . .
– We have had some fantastic days of filming, and everyone is very excited about what we have been able to film. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the county municipalty, Averøy municipality and Eide municipality, as well as residents for lending us the Atlantic Road. The Norwegian and English film team have been very well received. Everyone looks forward to showing the final result when the film premieres in April 2020, Borch writes in a text message.

The Bond shoot on the Atlantic Road: It's a wrap!

From TV2 (more or less the same as what Dagbladet writes)
The James Bond crew: – We’ve had fantastic days
https://www.tv2.no/a/10653787/
Is it the end on Norway shooting or crew is going to another location in Norway?
We don't know. They practised overtaking the Aston in a test drive Tuesday, according to Dagbladet, and some of the videos posted yesterday and today shows the cars going quite fast. Of course a point A to point B scene could go at high speed.
This is the only quote Dagbladet have posted from Borch, so it might be the complete Norway shoot that's finished, or they might even pick up production at a different location. I still don't think a weeks shoot in March and a few days now in June match the incentives given – at all. The 47 millions (in kroner that is) should only amount to 25% of what the production spends in Norway.

From Dagbladet:
«Bond 25»
The reason why the Bond «actors» have dots on their faces
Technically the method is called «face replacement».
In a Toyota Land Cruiser a «couple» is seated, with a children’s doll in the backseat. The trio looks like a conjugal family. In the Bond car, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a man sits in a green jacket. Most likely everyone are substitutes for the film’s more central actor profiles, Dagbladet are told.
During the film shoot on the Atlantic Road they also used a small and fast vehicle called a multi-camera car. This production tool is central in «replacing» the substitutes on set with real actors at a later time. Equipped with a total of eight cameras, the vehicle films the surroundings at a 360 degree angle.
Back in the studio, the cars used in the production are placed in a green screen room, and the real actors are seated, pretending to be on the Atlantic Road. The film material from the multi-camera car is then added to the green screen walls in the post production, and the illusion that the actors have been at work in Møre and Romsdal is complete.

This photo from late May was for this:
They'd better do a better job than in SF, where it looked too fake.
Pretty much any joint injury surgery will take 6 weeks before any sort of real PT can begin. They’re usually 3 month long recoveries. I’m sure DC has access to good doctors shooting him up with stuff to help him through but I’d imagine they’d wait to film all the real action until he’s healed
Very interesting. Lends some credence to the notion of the child being part of the scientist's family, one would think. And the fella in the Aston seems undoubtedly to be doubling for Craig, based on that haircut and profile.
That guy is Craig in both the beige and black jacket? Can't imagine what other character he is.
Also that beige jacket looks a lot like the one the bloke on The Bond Experience was hinting at in his recent video. I can't be the only one who thinks it's hideous.
They mention a "children’s doll", nothing more unfortunately.
As for the jacket, it doesn't scream Bond to me either. The only thing I noticed now that you mentioned it, is that the jacket from the Atlantic Road shoot looks greener in colour. Might be the lighting of course.
Interesting - where second unit is going now? Maybe they have finished their overall work on Bond 25.
Who knows? Again, the incentives given should suggest a longer shoot than the two little sequences we've seen so far. Maybe the interview by one of the local newspapers with Borch from Truenorth reveals more, but that's behind a paywall.

Anyone recognise which country this licence plate belongs to?

Switzerland maybe? At least they have two letter code for the canton followed by up to 6 numerical digits.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Switzerland
Could be, but I don't see a dot behind the canton. Do they have other types as well?
Don't know yet. Trying to find out as we speak. Scrolling through this one:
https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Europe.html
The work done on Logan is the gold standard for this type of work.
The red mark after the two first letters looks like the oblates/stickers we used to have on our cars here in Norway (up until 2012), to show that you've paid the annual road traffic insurance tax. Each year had a different colour. The older registration plates didn't feature the blue mark on the left with the Norwegian flag and the "N" - neither does the car pictured above. On the other hand, this car has a six number digit, not five as we have here. The font looks different too.

It could be the case of course, but would the Film Institute splash out that amount of incentives if the country is to just double for someplace else? I hope not.
