The name of this car suddenly popped into my head when I was reading this - ‘At any moment I might fade out’: archives reveal fearless era of land speed record breakers | Motor sport | The Guardian — https://www.theguardian.com/sport... - as I remember it being mentioned as a footnote in a book I read decades ago.

Seems to be a couple snakes and a couple wings shy of a proper flying caduceus. But then he'd have snakes on a plane so maybe he'd just had it with those motherfucking snakes on his motherfucking plane. And kept the name anyway.
