Default Westminster Dragoons and the RTR tabk badge

According to the Internet now W (Westminster Dragoons) Squadron, Royal Yeomanry, for many years the Westminster Dragoons and its successors retained the right to wear the tank arm badge. Col Hodges records it still worn in 2005. Do the regiment still wear it?
