Australian national airline Qantas is holding a competition to name its new fleet of 787s. The theme is “Australian icons”. There doesn’t seem to be a requirement that only Australians can enter.

There’s SO much potential here, but I’m running with”The Last of the V8 Interceptors”.

I’m also tempted by “Spirit of SummerNats”: could make for an awesome piece of nose art.

What about Adam Hills? Probably the most famous Australian in the UK after Rolf Harris.

considering he only died this week just gone, Lou Richards perhaps (Collingwood player)
Steve Waugh maybe.
David Boon even.

“That’s not a knife” is a good one; worthy of Iain M Banks . You’d really want to paint it on the side of one of their shiny new F35s rather than a 787 though.
By all accounts Brocky, though a genius driver, was a complete A-hole in regular life. If I was Quantas I think I’d rather be running with Sir Jack Brabham. Actually that one’s probably even a serious possibility, now I thnk about it. Three times world champion and the only person ever to win a championship as both driver and constructor; he’s earned it.

Apparently you should be working at Qantas: about half of those are the examples they came up with themselves:

I did change three of them as it wanted names that weren’t trade marked or licenced.
There also had to be eight suggested names. I think I had Sydney Harbour Bridge, etc... land marks and historic regions.

I must have lucked out then - it didn’t reject any of mine. But I went with dead people and phrases. I did wonder how they were going to get away with Vegemite etc.
