One is biased, but admits to a preference for "Wolf" as the name for this splendid new aireyplane. One has said so on this very forum, some time ago now. We shall shortly see whether or not the intelligence of the establishment has been up to the task of monitoring this excellent site adequately....

Now then.
The Navy will name its 2 new carriers after HM and the POW, presumably in some sort of attempt to make sure they don't get cancelled.
Using the same logic, maybe JSF should be called the Blair

Don't get too excited, I doubt if the US will allow foreign 'partners' to be allowed access to allowed access to the F-35's name.
However, strictly for these 4 walls, MI5 sources suggest that it'll be called the F-35 SECRET NOFORN.

Wouldn't the Spitfire name have to be at least the Spitfire 48?
Or Dave......

Wasn't the F22 originally pencilled in as the Lightning II?

Would you want to see stories of WRAFs yanking and banking with the joystick of a Colin in their hands?
