JSF Naming Day
There have been some superb suggestions on Prune. Even better than the 'Dave'.
The people's choice must surely be The Prescott - because JSF is a completely compromised, overweight, very expensive, overpriced penetrator that*makes a lot of noise as it goes up and down, has only a tiny weapon (-load),*has already cost us far more than it's worth, while no-one is quite sure what it's for, or whether it can do anything useful, but anyone with any sense would expect it to be ****-canned.
Moreover, nobody wants it in their backyard (hence the reason it is going to Lossie).*It does the work of 2 Jags.*It's very noisy to little efect.
I also liked:
Lark*
The name has to be suitable for fighter pilots so how about the 'Lark'?*
Just like its feathered relative, it makes a noise totally out of proportion to its size; when it is in the overhead, you'll know it is there but you cannot see it. It gets airborne when it likes and spends the whole time aloft yelling at the top of its voice: 'me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me'.
* **
Battle II (after the Fairley one).
They were chronically under-powered bomb trucks too, with an undersized internal weapons bay and with just one engine.
F-35 "Martmite" - you either love it, or you hate it
F-35 Sodomite. Only a pervert would love it......
JOATMON, simply meaning:
Jack of all trades, master of none, which it surely will be by the time it arrives.
'MENSTRUAL' as I suspect this will bleed the RAF for years.
The YF-35 (Why F-35). Because that's what everyone is already saying!

..and yet Dave compared with the mighty 'phoon has double the loiter/load/range & could actually help out in Afghanistan from land or sea with a greatly superior weapon set & a2g sensors. All at half the price.
What a deal - you shouldn't leave home without it.
On the local news it described Dave as a joint US/UK aircraft. Why is it always labelled yankee round these parts? No pride in the UK contribution? Too many EADS apologists?
