Reference excerpt

The Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry (QOYY) was a Yeomanry regiment of the British Army from 1956 to 1971. Its lineage is maintained today by A (Yorkshire Yeomanry) Squadron, Queen's Own Yeomanry.

History The regiment was formed by the amalgamation of three Yorkshire Yeomanry regiments, the Yorkshire Hussars, the Queen's Own Yorkshire Dragoons and the East Riding of Yorkshire Yeomanry in 1956. The regiment was equipped with Daimler Dingo armoured cars and Austin Champs, and later Ferrets and Land Rovers. In 1967, it was disbanded and immediately reconstituted as the Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry (T), a TAVR III (Home Defence) infantry unit of the Territorial Army. It was reduced to a cadre in 1969, and became the Yorkshire Squadron, the Queen's Own Yeomanry in 1971. During the 1970s the Yorkshire Squadron was equipped with Saladins, Saracens and Ferrets, later to be replaced by the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Wheeled) and Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) series of vehicles and trained to provide rear area security for I British Corps. The unit then transitioned away from tracked vehicles and onto wheel based platformed, first with Land Rover RWMIK in 2003 and then onto Jackal (vehicle) in 2018 to perform the light armoured reconnaissance role.

A (Yorkshire Yeomanry) Squadron, Queen's Own Yeomanry

Freedom of York A (Yorkshire Yeomanry) Squadron was granted Freedom of the City of York on 3 December 2009. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Queen's Own Yeomanry, A (Yorkshire Yeomanry) exercised the Freedom once again in April 2022.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry

In research: Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Military history of Yorkshire, Military units and formations established in 1956, Regiments of Yorkshire, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
