Martin, I don't think that can be used for the kind of "camera" I'm 
thinking of.  The easiest way to visualize the idea I have is to think 
about the view you'd see in one of the rear-view mirrors that most 
fighters have along the canopy bow (and the Spitfire has mounted on top of 
the canopy bow, outside the cockpit).  You'd see your full screen view as 
usual, but you'd also have these "mirrors" showing the view behind you at 
the same time.
