RAF gives names to aircraft...sometimes?
Talking of names for things...I thought it was RAF policy to name all aircraft it operated regardless of whether they already have a well known 'tag' ( DC3 to Dakota for example). However the BAe 125 and BAe 146 remain mere numbers.
Has this tradition fallen away? If not why not use the USAF's example of recycling old names? "Anson" for the BAe 125 and ... er.... Hastings? for the BAe 146

Reason: Terrible spelling...
