Default British Engineering

I joined the Canadian military just after we replaced the Centurion and Ferret with other AFVs. When talking about British designed military vehicles the RCEME Techs used a couple of rather unflattering sayings which were:

'Made in England, cursed by the world'

'If you cannot buy quality, buy English'

Sadly, I think the second saying now equally applies to some Canadian manufactured items.
