CCV BOMBER: HIGHS LIKE A HAWK

I saw this on the Bay a couple of years ago and immediately thought Tri-ang SpaceX HAWK!

Called the CCV Bomber, its a superb looking things with its rear nacelles, double exhausts and swept wings.

I can't see a signature on the artwork but its a brill painting.

I wasn't the only blogger who noticed. The Unwanted Blog saw it too and combined with more fab artwork, the original patents and even a model have created a terrific post back in 2016
