Archimedes - sorry, I made up the 'Cyclone' tale....
't Bungling Baron invited all and sundry to lunch at 't werrks and the topic of a name "Fer 't new aeroplane" came up.
'Tempest' and 'Hurricane' were unacceptable due to certain memories. So 'Cyclone' or 'Zyklon' was suggested, to continue with the 'wind' theme of Tornado. This was received well - until it was quickly realised that such a name, particularly for the 2-seater B model, would have been rather unfortunate....
'Typhoon', it was pointed out, had been used for both the German Me 108 and the British Hawker Typhoon. So that was OK then. They all had a drink over the idea - and 't Bungling Baron beamed merrily.
Watching the burner climb capability of the Warton Typhoons coming off the tanker was very interesting. Nothing the RAF has ever had went that well - straight up to around FL500 after filling to full! The pilots will love it.
