Ok then, before this gets boring.... The dogs names were Lockheed, Herdla and Bamse. Bamse was the only longhaired one.
Lockheed was named after their first aerial kill I think it was, a RAF Coastal Command Lockheed Hudson, Herdla, after their mainbase in Norway and Bamse after what we sometimes call the bears in Norway and Sweden.

Anyone else want a shot?
