The US kept the name Harrier for their VTOL jet aircraft and the name Pegasus for its engine. The US kept the name Merlin for their R-R designed, but domestically produced V-12 piston engines used in WWII aircraft. On the other hand, the UK kept the name Apache for the AH-64 helos procured from the US.
The Apache was the official name given to the A-36 dive bomber version of the Mustang. In practice it was rarely used, particularly once the P-51 was in widespread use. Boscombe Down had one for evaluation, though it was never given a British mark number.

I will stick to Mosquito. You can't see it but you can certainly hear it ... and then it bites.
And is the F-35 a Bomber or Ground Attack? ... doesn't bombing attack the ground anyway?
Mosquito FBR Mk 1, please
