Javelin. I'll have you know that I've gone to 60mph in that Fred! (backwards)

That pic shows just how bad that silver is against a clear day. I've had a go at polishing the Alclad panels to a high sheen but they dull quite quickly. Is there some means of maintaining a high level of reflectivity without promoting corrosion?

Contrast. Hmmmmmmm. Invasion stripes? If you want contrast on a moving object then surely you want the stripes perpendicular to the motion of the airframe? I keep coming back to the idea of puffs of oil into the exhaust manifold and leaving a faint trail of 'breadcrumbs' for the eye to follow.
