There was a running joke about the Russians cornering the market on short (5'5"), left-handed loaders!

Lee,
Well, it didn't seem like that was the layout to me, but some written material does seem to conform to what you say so I could be wrong! Tell you what, next time I'm out in the 'Wack (CFB Chiliwack) and the museum is open I'll have a look inside the turret if I can. Then we'll see who's sorry then! Eh? Eh!
(Probably, I'll still be sorry.)
