Well, it sounds like the nudger was an option - as the classics I flew didn't have them.
The British passion for stick pushers was obviously as a result of the fact that a lot of their designs had T -tails. I used to fly the VC10. The pusher was tested on every pre-flight. The push was considerable and would have probably stuck you to the ceiling if you weren't strapped in.
