Filling the sink ready to do the washing up, by the looks of it! Not sure it's a wise thing to do mid-dogfight...

What IS she doing with that tap???

Filling the sink with her left hand she activates the water-gyro-super-balance of the fighter. The nose of the plane goes down (or up) and with her right hand she activates the firing mechanism for the 2 guns. The bullets diverge outwards and do not hit pilots arms. Than she balances the plane opening a valve with her left foot (this we can't see), releasing some water from the sink. And so on...

Ah right, I KNEW it would be something like that........ 

The water helps to adjust the CG of the aircraft as the ammo gets used up I suppose?

Typical female, she'll be boasting about being able to multi task any minute now  Love 'em really 

Great photo

I have bought a (French) beautiful cartoon book starting with twin-boomers of Burnelli look, but German WW1 (continued) in 1927 (with swastikas already)...

If books covers count; here's one from Chris Moore - better-known as an sf/fantasy illustrator but the cover of Dale Brown's "Night of the Hawk" is one of a number of aviation paintings he's done.

Opened up my new issue of Air Forces Monthly this week, with once again a very nice surprise on the last page.
an RAF P-8 Poseidon (or Neptune MRA.1 in RAF service), this one is definatly going on my "things to build"-list.

a few months back, Tim O'Brien also did a what-if art work on a Royal Navy Taranis UCAV, might have to scan that one in later  

there's a small pic of the taranis at his website, in the section Journalism, halfway the page (first on on the left)

Reminds me of the "Flight of the Old Dog" B-52 minus the new engines.  Still cool.

Our own Wookster's Speed Spitefull appears in the August SAMI on the 580 Modellers page

July MAM has a couple of interesting articles that whilst not Wifs inselve's have potential.

Nice build of the Valom Boeing XF8B-1 and Vought -V713

Good article in the "American Patrol" column on Convair Special Projects. These include a Mach 5 bomber to be carried and launched by a B-58

Is that the 'Super Hustler' project Chris? I've just been reading about that in the Aerofax B-58 book, it's mind boggling!

If you've never read about the Super Hustler program (and the related Fish/Kingfish) then you absolutely MUST visit Lockheed Martin's Code One website. It's got a four-parter story on the subject, with lots of information and copiously illustrated. You'll be glad you did!
