    I've always liked the raised cobra head type stance of the latest Russian designs. Not so keen on that wretched, lurid turquoise they like to use however.







    Her name is Ekaterina, and she'll lull you into a false sense of security with her disarming prettiness before dropping knowledge bombs on you. Can't dress for feck though.

    Edit: and she's somehow related to Lynx and Huey (Huey is a girl, just probably embarassed about being called Hughlina by her American parents or something). They all have 'I'm nice' eyebrows.

    I wouldn't call 19 years old "latest" by any stretch of the imagination mate..i'd call it just old enough not to get in trouble with her dad!....

    Ah yes, the Slowpide magnificant machine, there used to be one at Weston on the Green, used by the parachute club as a jump ship, flown by a crazy Polish exRAF pilot.
    Gerry S (G - WOTG) was the man. His son took up the mantle but only on the end of a parachute. Gerry always kept a questionable bundle of 'ladies' magazines beneath his seat for those 'laze around and wait' days at WOTG. Ex fighter pilot reduced to flying around this old beast, but oh how we appreciated him RIP.

    Also have to agree, great aircraft, used to watch them take off from Farnborough, including the V bombers.
