Naming the Halton Jupiter[edit]

In composing this article, the aircraft generally seemed to be referred to as just Jupiter. It was not named after Roper (the original designer/builder), nor Potter (who led the rebuild), nor was it known as the RAF Halton Jupiter - since it was not an official military project.

Jane's All the World's Aircraft for some reason had it listed as Project Jupiter, even if no-one else did.

However, Wrecks & Relics, in detailing the aircraft's final resting place, refer to it as the Halton Jupiter, which seems to be a suitable way of acknowledging its provenance, given that over 100 staff, stationed at Halton, contributed 4,000 hours towards its construction. So I have followed their lead.
