I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Small point but the RNLN operated the Atlantic not the later Atlantique.

I think the French called it by the anglicised name to make it more acceptable to UK amongst others and changed the name to Atlantique for the Mk 2 when unable to sell it others.

PS,

I see the Dutch actually lost 3 or 33% of the fleet in 10 years.
