Here is a look in flight from a MKVIII Spitfire



1:1 I think

Is it just me or does the surround on that mirror look like a computer render from a sim?

Cheers!

And look at the clouds. Some fps eaters there I guess ...

Supposing this is NOT a virtual mirror I draw two conclusions:

1. no magnifying here. Does not make sense imho anyhow to have magnifying mirrors.
2. The mirror is tilted slightly downward so that the pilot can see his tail. Does make sense as you would like to see also as far as possible what is on your six below.

The image was taken by a Personal friend and work colleague of mine as a personal request. He is fortunate enough to fly the Temora MKVIII and XVI, I can assure you its a real image.

Another one this one I took myself, focus is on the frame rather than reflected image.

Skoshi, Stormcrow,
Did you just have the effrontery to call IvanK a liar?
"Is it just me or does the surround on that mirror look like a computer render from a sim?"
"Supposing this is NOT a virtual mirror I draw two conclusions:"
In my Father's day you lost your front teeth for that kind of insult.
A little respect please.
The reality of the sim doesn't suit so you call the man a liar.
Puhleeze!
