It's strange how things seem to be connected ...

Last week I was in Germany. Whilst in Munich I visited the Deutsches Museum to take some photo's. There is a section dealing with aircraft escape systems, and it has the nose of a German F-104G Starfighter with the seat 'mid-extraction' to illustrate how it all works. On the wall next to the aircraft is a huge (probably about 6ft square!) copy of the photo.

You can walk right up to it and examine it closely. It is a bit blurred, but still an amazing picture to look at close-up.
