31602 received the name Chimaera on 16 June 1999. The nameplate and striking Chimaera logo are pictured a couple of months later, on 22 August 1999 at Ridgmont. In Greek mythology the Chimera was a fire breathing hybrid animal, but the name has come to mean anything 'wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling'. Surely that can't be a Class 31! |
