Name For A400m
;)
Aviation, Defense and Space News, Jobs, Conferences by AVIATION WEEK Antonio Rodríguez-Barberán, Airbus Military's new vice-president commercial, is a man with a sense of humor. During his first presentation to a trade media briefing in Seville, southern Spain, on the site of the A400M's final assembly line, Rodríguez-Barberán was touting the merits of the aircraft's refueling capacities. He was explaining that it “can not only refuel male or female fighter aircraft (for those equipped with receptacle equipped receivers and those equipped with probe-equipment receivers), but it can also be refueled itself! Well, this plane is a hermaphrodite,” he concluded. The comment was met with a gale of laughter and immediate understanding amongst those present that the plane now has a name! My nomination is HERMES. Edited by Philrigger to add name suggestion. |
"Bob", naturally.

MUFF=Medium Ugly Fat F***er
|
Wogan
After his Eurovision commentary Or maybe Norton for its male/female refuelling! :) |
NAGATH of course....................................
Not As Good As The Hercules! |
How about TSR3?
|
Roadster has it.
MUFF is perfect because some Muffs are also lovely |
How about Latte? (sounds posh)
|
Alphonso? or Fat Alphonso
|
A moment of brilliance from Roadster and the usual sage words from John Farley.
Does that mean para drops will be known as MUFF diving and TALO will be known as 'going down'?? :ok::};) |
Atlas.

I'll Believe It When I See It |
MUFF sounds great.
Multiple Use Force Flyer. Or, simply becuause the project has been a complete C*** The Euros can call theirs whatever they like (as per Eurofighter), but as all RAF aircraft leak on a constant basis, then the thought of being told to stop the muffs dripping on the apron is worth it just for that alone. Look at the size of the flaps on that MUFF etc! Apparently, some folks see the word MUFF as a sexual term, but I cant see how:E Of course it could also be called 'Grenadier' It is photographed often...Looks well presented...Has a long history....Costs a lot to fund....But also seldom moves! |
Bel-slow - oh, that's been used. Eurotruck!
|
I thought it was 'The Bristol Bureaucrat'.

Nearly compitent Sh*gnasty:ugh:

Call it the Kentish.................
Why? Well the A400 IS Kentish Town Rd :O A400 Kentish Town Road | Photos of Road | Pics by Oxyman | UpMyStreet OR even reminisce because it could also we called the Fortress or the Junction........ all are parts of the A400 Junction Road (designated the A400) is a road in north London between Archway tube station (at the top of Holloway Road) and Tufnell Park tube station (where the A400 continues southwards as Fortess Road). Probably will be apt, as they both have been a struggle to get to the end off :E Or how about HMS Queen Elizabeth that might appease the navy when the funds from that project are diverted to pay for them :ok: |
What about Lionel? C'est tres jolie, n'est ce pas? Doubters could take the cockney translation.
