Albert names

Just a quick question, not sure if it's been discussed before. If so I apologise for repeating. I was reading another thread where some are questioning the naming of the A400M aircraft. I recall that on posting to Akrotiri in March 73, 70 Sqdn had a mix of Argosy and Hercules, I'm sure they all carried individual names, the Alberts names like Heracles, Hyperion etc. Anyone have any info on what names were used and whether any other operating squadrons used names on Albert. Also, I assume 70 stopped the practice when the aircraft were centralised at Lyneham.
