Just seen this in the paper, so place you bids.

Just seen this in the paper, so place you bids.

In line with Government policy of trying to please everyone and actually pleasing no one and in an attempt to recoup some of the budget overspend, the Treasury and MOD have decided that each airframe will be given an individual name. Much in the same way as you can buy seats in the House of Lords, individuals or corporations will “sponsor” and airframe. So one day you could be flying the ‘F35 TESCO’ and the next the ‘F35 TONY’S MY BEST MATE’. The F35 ‘YOUR NAME HERE’ will of course be a hit at all the air shows around the country (static display only).
