I could well be wrong (Because A&FC is not a project I'm involved in) but I believe HQ STC chose A&FC and thats how it'll be used in future. Standing by to be corrected by one of the project team now

The Swanwick EDDUS will not be called SwEDDUS it is just a working name generated by some clever bloke
in the project to save confusion in some docs.
You are correct that the A&FC nomenclature came from HQ STC and it is the term used in the NATS/MOD contract, but I guess I may have to provide power for the D&D sign before O date
