Best part of the Princess Elizabeth idea? She was trained as a mechanic and was a driver in the Auxillary. Automobile Club, anyone?

Okay. A challenge to the artists out there.

Setup an image based in the GuP universe, during the Second World War. With Princess Elizabeth (the present day Queen Elizabeth II) in Sensha-do. Likely around 1942 as was historically involved as Colonel-in-Chief of the Grenadier Guards, which has tanks. Cruiser tanks ("Covenanter V" and "Crusader III" plus later M4 Sherman V "Fireflys").

That or something appropreate for someone of her age just before or during the war.

Princess Elizabeth was 13 years old when the war started in 1939 and was 19 years old when the war ended in 1945. (Her birthday is April 21, 1926)

Also managed an ID on the car, it's a Ferret Armoured car (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferret_armoured_car) which, while fully possible considering the modern day setting of GuP, having it in a WW2 setting is wrong as they weren't built until the 1950's.
Even so, still doesn't detract from the fact this is an awesome picture ^^

Pipes from the back of a motorcycle while under 'attack'... some poor Scottie in Darjeelings' gang has been dragged into the 'Mad dogs and Englishmen' part of our lovely blonde's personality...

I'd say the planes are Mossies, going off their looks. The Fighter/Bomber variant too.

And thus Orange Pekoe has sixth sense or is damn lucky not being hit by any of the strafing planes...

Which I need an ID on.
