Recycling Names
I was at a dinner last night and the (less than well informed) chap a couple of places down was singing the praises of the Typhoon - this isn't the uninformed bit. He then went on to say:
"And of course the Typhoon is the only military aircraft to re-use an historic name"
"Rubbish" sez I, and off the top of my head - and with wine taken - immediately came up with the following:
Lightning
Bulldog
Whirlwind
Tutor
Hawk?
Dominie
Even restricting it to British military - which was the context - there must be more.
