Illustrated for the book, Going up Sir?" A collection of aviation cartoons from around the world.

My day job for 25 years was a maintainer, so this is one I came up with.

I can empathise with that! Night shift wrapping up Lightnings in freezing drizzle , lots of tired swearing and struggling with frozen fingers and stubborn equipt. To bed - to sleep .
Up next day to carry on painting pictures of the damn things!

Thanks, I almost forgot about the -55 below wind chill standing out in front of a bomber with a heater strapped to my ass, and the co-pilot telling me to put that heat upstairs for them- I asked if they had bleed air on their jet as I'm shaking my head NO, next thing I heard was "Clear 2 Chief! LOL

And that wasn't the worst one!
