With your examples, the following is my initial idea:

{Name|[Vehicle Type]} (Vehicle type is optional if tag is overloaded)

Lancaster

Vulcan (Plane)

Firefly (Plane)

Swordfish (Plane)

Special cases like the Typhoon would need to be handled on a case by case basis. At first glance, I would personally use Typhoon (plane) for the Hawker Typhoon, and either Eurofighter Typhoon or EF2000 Typhoon for the other one.

Also, I wasn't even considering civilian vehicles when talking about naming conventions, as I want to tackle just military vehicle naming conventions in this topic. Civilian vehicle naming conventions might need to be handled as a separate topic, although on first look, I would say that the manufacturer name in the case of civilian vehicles plays an important part in designation.

seems fine with me. or as an alternative, we can institute a mix of option 1 and option 2. option 2 already answers the bulk of aircraft. the situation rises in mainly british(?) planes and civilian types. we can use option 1 (with manufacturer) if option 2 fails. with this we can limit the naming to only 2 possible cases.
