Default Here is another

I understand she still drives her Landrover. But here is another picture taken at the same time not the numbers on the trucks.

I think this one as been posted has anybody spotted others that might have been taken. I got this one as a post card at the Imperial War Museum.

Cheers Phil

These pictures were taken in the latter part of the war 44/45. The Princess was isued with a provisional driving licence at this time. It has been in safe keeping till recent times by one of her 'ladies in waiting'. Upon the death of this lady, it was sold by aution to rich collector, who subsiquentialy donated it to a new museum in Winchester. The licence was officialy handed to the museum by the Queen herself. I was asked to attend the event with my Austin Tilly..... I never got to meet her and it was a bloody boreing day.
