- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Pythons! They're the answer to almost everything.  ;D

In the RW they might have used Centauruses of course.

Nah, keep the originals - they push a lot of hp.

The RR Tyne first ran in 1955.  A slight tweaking of the timeline and the Neptune could have "quite sufficient" power.

If I've got this right ,  Christopher  is derived from two Latin words...........Christos (Christ) and  Ferens (bearer or  carrier)   from the story that the original Christopher  carried Christ over a deep river.

You could, of course address him by the Latin honorific "Dominus alis longioris".................................Master of the Longer Wings

I am simply glad that the most complex language after English that we had to contend with at school was French and then only for two years compulsory. I nearly took it as a subject after then but as there was limited time in the schedule and my thoughts that I would not use it, I havent, then there was not much point in takeing it. Now if Russian was an option at the time I probably would have given that a go.

Thinking about it, the most latin I have ever learned was from "Life of Brian" Romani ite domum

Roman: Walks into a bar, "I'll have a martinus please".
Bartender: "Do you mean martini"?
Roman: "No, just one for now".
