Dashboard reflections.... I did mention that a while ago... I did ask Spanners, my groundcrew chief to give the old canopy a wipe down before my next sortie, but didn't make any difference.

All I can see are reflections of my lucky rabbits foot which dangles from the rear view mirror.

And yes, the HUD does wink at me just like the barmaid in the mess, but the HUD sadly doesn't quite have the same clevage.... tally ho!

Hmmm, looks great but I’m definitely not taking my steering wheel apart. 😂

Cheers, yep, I think it sets off the sliver / black accents well. Another couple of shots…
