Whenever you wear it you'll think of her.

You don't exist!

Surely she was still HRH the Princess Elizabeth in 1947?

It's known as the Thirst after Righteousness.

The last time I saw The Railway Children she'd turned into her mother. After that, I believe, she became a nun in the East End.

I thought it rang a bell; it's The Nine Tailors.

There's a story about Douglas Bader presenting prizes at Roedean, and enthralling the girls with his account of shooting down Fokkers. The headmistress interrupted, "Remember, girls, Fokker is a German aircraft manufacturer." "Yes," replied Bader, "But these fokkers were Messerschmitts."

Harris Great Western Coaches Part 2 has a photograph and drawings of the six-wheeled sausage van (p. 227).

Indeed she made up time; it was a commendable run.
-
I'm told she didn't exactly storm up Hemerdon!

Her own GWR Royal Train, surely?

I thought it might be one of these: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3166/3015514809_24369cb968_o.jpg
