about the cover art of sci-fi lullabies

The picture was taken in 1991 by John Kippin. It took place in Otterburn Military Training Range, Northumberland National Park, England. This park is open to public when "no red flags are flown or red lamps lit".

The plane was Lightning English Interceptor. It's one of the planes that are used for target practice. Those planes usually either get hit during practice or rust under the weather of Northumberland.
