I'm surprised that BEA chose Sir Cloudesley Shovell for an aircraft name, as I believe he's mainly remembered now for taking his ship onto the Scillies back in the early 18th century ..... and for loaning his name to "The Ship and Shovell," a pub at the entry to Craven Passage, not too far from the MOD, where I have passed the odd lunchtime in days past.
