Yes, and I simply don't remember if ours were "handed" or not. Well, it has been half a century...
At least one of ours (G-AMRA) was still flying a few years ago with Air Atlantique and quite likely using the same control locks, so perhaps someone will pick up this point. You may remember it featured in a BBC documentary by Ewan McGregor and his brother Colin, called
Bomber Boys. (I was going to post a link to the copy on YouTube, but it brings up a massive caption that might upset the Mods... If you find it, start watching at 10:20.)
