What to give a Fighter Pilot for Christmas ?
 
Tired of those boring presents that quickly loose their appeal as soon as Christmas is over ... or stretch your ability to smile and say "thank you ... just what I've always wanted darling". Fear not, a solution is at hand this year !

I give you the AIM-9 Missile Lamp !

Unobtrusive, sophisticated yet functional and makes a statement in any Living Room, Home Office or Hall ... a "must have" for all steely eyed fighter pilots of any rank.

Particularly useful for 4*'s needing a Talking Point when hosting foreign dignitaries at their official residences :E

AIM-9 Missile Lamp

PS. Anyone brave enough to seek permission from their appropriate Sanctioning Authority to purchase said item ... and construct it ... pics would be nice :}

Then paint an orange filling band next to the yellow one and see whether anyone asks questions..........:ooh:

Or get some bio-hazard stickers, then 'age' them and say that the lamp is something which came from 'a mate' at Nancekuke / Gruinard / Porton Down.....:oh:

DD ... Don't worry UK QRA South have just launched and headed for the Dutch coast :}

BEagle,

That's wicked. Shouldn't it be a brown band, or dark green if it has your lovely sticker on it?

downsizer 4th Nov 2012 19:02

Yep, brown....

BEagle 4th Nov 2012 19:09


Shouldn't it be a....
ICATQ!!

Or a mauve filling band for c***t***l agents....:E

hval 4th Nov 2012 19:19

BEagle,


ICATQ
I shall shine bright lights in to your eyes, possibly from those AIM 9 lights

When OC Domestics has control of the central heating, it would be a challenge stopping one from tipping over, and launching towards the radiator in the lounge......

1.3VStall 4th Nov 2012 20:10

A wristwatch to shoot down?;)

TheWizard 4th Nov 2012 20:29

A serviceable aircraft?

Waddo Plumber 4th Nov 2012 20:33

An ego perchance?

Better to give it to an ex VC10/Tristar Loadmaster/mistress...complete with Safety Pins and flags..`Remove before *light`
