Help!

[Radish]

Chaps,

I need a name for a Maritime Strike/Recon aircraft.
RAF....current/future.

The numbering will be..."NAME" MRS.1

Any ideas or suggestions welcome.

A bird?
A sea creature?
A mythical creature?
A god?

I've used "Kraken" for my RN/RAF F-35s.

Thanks

I've always thought Mythology is a great untapped source of names....what nationality is it for Terry?

[lancer]

I agree, the mythology route is very untapped and a great route to go.

Mix a mythological sea creature & the fact that RAF martime recce birds tend to be based in Scotland, how about Nessie MRS.1???

Leviathan?
Hydra?
Manta?
Stingray?
Narwhal?

[gooberliberation]

What'll it look like? Mossie's suggestions are all really good but they conjure up very specific images when applied to aircraft.

[B777LR]

Albatross?
Sea Gull II?
Penguin!
Pelican
Cormorant

Seagull ?
Marlin ?
Swordfish ?
Shark ?
Boobie ?

Poseidon ?
Kraaken ?
Mermaid ?
Siren ?

Rad-

Are we looking at maritime strike/recon in the context of a Bucc or Tornado loaded with Sea Eagle, or as a Nimrod/Orion type?

[Radish]

RAF in the context of the Buccaneer, etc..

Some great suggestions so far, chaps.

The Marlin MRS.1 sounds a good one.......unless there's another that takes my fancy and anything's possible!
Like others, I'm notorious for changing my mind!  

[Radish]

Good idea, Lee.

I've not thought of a "maker" so the field is open:

Short Stingray?

Martin Manta?

[Mossie]

Seabirds,

Cormorant?
Petrel/Storm-petrel?
Auk?
Tern?
Shag???  Short Shag??

Nosferatu?

I like Petrel. Has a distinctive ring to it.

Stormy Petrel on a stick?


Albatross!!
