Girl on my lap - WTH????

[Herodotus]

I just played a quick mission (the first time back to the game in months) and chose a Spitfire vs. He.111 intercept.
Low and behold on loading the scenario, there's a woman with black hair sitting on my lap (my pilot's, lucky lad) and can be viewed from both inside and outside the plane. She is clothed in a period frock....but wth? Have I missed something over the past few months
Or is it because the Spit is named "Heartbreaker"?
Sorry no screenies. The function doesn't appear to be working in-game and X-Fire doesn't support the game yet.
