Interesting. No eye or ear protection, but those are really post WWII
innovations. But use of a sling, a pad on her left elbow and gloves. Plus it
looks like a .22.

That's an awfully large bore for a .22
Now I don't feel bad using a 1907 sling on my LE's

The attire of wind coaches has slipped a little nowadays judging by the standards pictured above!

Well damn me, I've seen that photo umpteen times and never twigged it was the German bint that claims sovereignty over England and Wales.
If that is the case then that must be Phil the Greek doing the spotting for her, think he's a tad over dressed for the occasion but probably explains why big ears Charlie wants to be a Tampax.

Adam,
Did you know that the great difference between Royalty and Commoners is that Commoners have more ancestors?

Adam,
I have one major argument in favour of Royalty....
President Blair !

Constitutionally I couldn't agree more Tom.
However Bastard Blair has evidenced that the theory doesn't work

That'd be Her Majesty's Grandma Mary. Pre-W. W. II though. And that's not a .22.
Spelling and grammar always count.

But iz that Liz? What's the provenance?
It looks a bit like her but then great grand-father Edward got around a bit and was said to be the father of his nation
If the photo is pre-WW2 then she looks a bit old for then, and if it was during the war she'd probably have been in uniform.
