What's in a name? BSA/Webley's
One of my other interests is old motorcycles. Took me ages a while ago to realise that some BSA guns & motorbikes shared names, Lightning, Spitfire, Gold Star...
On Webleys, specifically the later named pistols (Hurricane, Tempest, Typhoon). Heard 2 theories about their names, 1 - After types of air movement, & 2 - For the Hawker fighter aircraft of WW11.
With the latter, anyone know the definitive answer?
You can tell I've got too much time being furloughed, housebound & unable to have a beer!
