Hawker Siddeley P.1154 name

Hello all, what was going to be the name of the P.1154 had it gone into service with the RAF/FAA?

If someone has already done a thread about this please direct me toward it.

I’m not saying that this is correct mind, it is worth further research for sure.

I will probably be laughed off the forum for this, but I have a funny feeling that it might have been Harrier for the RAF version!
This was in the period of the P.1127 and Kestrel and before the P.1127 RAF was named the Harrier.
I have seen it written that Osprey was mooted for the RN version, again I don’t know how reliable this is, or whether it is a case of guessing a bird of prey name that wasn’t used by Hawker for its jets.
