Piouslion-- <br /> <br />Hate to probably burst your bubble, but the vehicles Her Majesty qualified to drive during WWII were military ambulances, and she spent the war driving them on the home front. That's not to belittle her in any way--she was the first Royal ever to learn to drive a motor vehicle, and my Colonial peabrain tells me that I read somewhere she is still noted for driving her own car. Her immediate family during the war, under the astute leadership and example of the King and Queen Mum, stayed right there among the common folk during the Blitz and did their part. Pity that other generations don't follow such a shining example. <br /> <br />I have never seen anything that would indicate that the Queen, who does have a private train among her stable of conveyances, is qualified to operate it. <br /> <br />This the view from the Colonies. Perhaps one of you from the Olde Country can add info.
