Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Robot lawn-mower, Smiths Lawn. Saw this cutting the grass on the main polo pitch at the Guard's Polo Club. There were other tractor/lawn-mowers about, but with drivers. This one was about 10 ft long, and turning round when snapped: Remote control or auto-pilot? – Smiths lawn, believed to be named after a 17th century gamekeeper, was originally grazed by deer, but managed for sheep and as heathland from the late 18th century. During the Great War it was the HQ of the Canadian Forestry Corps, and again two decades later hosted an aerodrome for the American air force during the Second World War, and was the escape air-strip for Windsor Castle should invasion ever occur. After the Normandy landings the RAF set up a Tiger Moth training camp on the lawn. Since 1955 it has acted as the grounds for both the Guards Polo Club and the Windsor Park Equestrian Club.
