Make her the face of the £50 note

Why is this important?

She's an inspirational woman. Raised in Britain and France she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Airforce (also known as the WAAF) in 1940. Then became part of the secret Special Operation Executive (SOE) in France in 1943. She was eventually arrested by the Gestapo and died in a concentration camp at the age of 30.

Its not often we hear of stories like this, where an Indian Muslim women stood up to the Nazis. Its something to celebrate so lets put her on the note!
