I can't say it truly is in the queens arsenal today, though it might be in reserves, but the Lewis showed its head at the Fauklands a few years ago. Yeah you are right, They still have a Queen. I guess they never get rid of any anachronism == And they still drive on the left when most of the world is on the right. How weird is that? A few years ago I flew into London and drove about 80 miles to a town north of there. I had rented a car, and made sure I got an automatic transmission since I didn't want the added hassle of shifting a manual with the wrong hand. Remembering to keep to the left was hard enough. I had done it in the Cayman's but had a co-pilot with me then, in the UK I was by myself. I was there a week, and still found myself walking up to the left side of the car to get in most of the time. Old habits and all. Company I worked for in the 80's, had a London area office. One of the engineers from there was over here for 6 months. When he arrived back in England, leaving the airport, forgot which country he was in, and got in a head on accident. Low speed and no one hurt luckily. |
