I note that the fifth Poseidon is to be named Fulmar after the RNAS name for Lossie. So far we've had Pride of Moray, City of Elgin and Terence Bulloch DSO* DFC*. The first two are a bit meh, I heartily agree with the third and now... Fulmar. Really?

Have they run out of ideas, or are they just coming up with random thoughts. It looks like the first musings at a brainstorming session. At least the VC10s all had the names of RAF Victoria Cross awardees. This is just silly.

If they wanted maritime stations, why not Kinloss, St. Mawgan, St. Eval, Ballykelly, Mount Batten, Pembroke Dock, Calshot, Banff and Wick?
