How about the lesser spotted Fairey Cake ?
Mother Riley's Cardboard Aeroplane otherwise known as Tornado ! TORNADO 2 it should have been but obviously the braindead Air Marshalls forgot about the earlier HAWKER TORNADO !

Actually, the A400M will be the "Bristol Bureaucrat"....
The Air Marshals actually wanted to call the Hawk the 'Tercel'. A sort of baby ****ehawk.
TypHoon could have been "Cyclone". But that didn't translate terribly well into German, particularly for the two-seater, or B model.....
"Hmm. Eurofighter Zyklon B. Don't think we'll be selling many of those to certain countries..."
As for PFI, the RAAF decided against it for their A330MRTTs. Rumour hath it that they consider 'PFI' to stand for 'Poms are Flaming Idiots'...
