If Prince Harry ever tires of his military service, he could always join us as a Smartgun operator :-)

I wonder if Smartgunners are trained to move each eye independently like Apache pilots?

It's amazing how the real world catches up with the science fiction world!

It is indeed Graham, I've made the same point several times to different people when I've seen pics of helmet cameras and intercoms, and now this :-) You have to wonder if the designers of such things do actually take their inspiration from movies such as Aliens.

Helmet-mounted displays - 1970s.
Aliens - 1985 (filming).

Who's playing catch-up? :wink:
