Post by: thermidorthelobster on May 28, 2007, 12:57:45: The Discovery 3 is L319; ie it looks like the project was started before the new Rangie.

Disco II was known as Tempest; I quite like that.

Disco 1 (300 series) was called Romulus

I seem to recall the P38a had another project title - but strangely it was adopted for another vehicle. I wonder if you can guess :)
