Thanks guys --
An interesting thing popped up while I was researching what (and how) to do the decal scheme. It was always going to be a Brit operated aircraft because of the Sidetrack system, and to be a Royal Navy one. Choosing which squadron to operate it was a matter of looking through the decal box and finding some appropriate decals. I had three sheets which I found I could use, all for Sea Harrier FA.2's. Plus I had the Xtrakit FA.2 kit to go by as well.
One of the three schemes in that kit was for an 801 Sqn. aircraft which was also aircraft number 007 for the squadron. I thought that was too good not to use in this 'spooks & spies' GB. Having chosen the scheme to use I got thinking about it -- double O 7 was an odd number for a sqn aircraft so I thought the pilot who flew it mostly must have had a surname of Bond or something.
Anyway it turns out it wasn't, but one of the decal sheets offered a clue. The sheet in question was the SAM Productions sheet for the FA.2's retirement schemes, these had a multitude of 'name' boards stenciled on including the crew chiefs names. One pair of crew chiefs (they are actually referred to as AEM's, Aircraft Engineer (Mechanical) ) drew my attention, their names appear attached together on the sheet so I'm assuming they worked on the same aircraft. Well the top name was AEM James, and the bottom name was AEM Bond --- I think it's safe to assume that they were the crew chiefs for aircraft 007, don't you.
My story is when the Sea Harrier was 'stood down', these two guys transferred to the F-35 program and ended up working together again, and their new aircraft got number 007 too.
