I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Utterly butterly teams' requirements for pilots. I have tried googling it and looked at their site but it gives no clues.

Would I be right in assuming that a CPL + DA would do?
I would also guess that they would require a certain minimum amount of hours. Anyone have any idea what this is?

Thanks for your help, by the way I am aware that this is not private flying but it doesn't really fit in any of the other forums too well apart from the non-airline transport one which no one looks at.

Contact Vic Norman at Rendcomb and I'm sure he'll advise you of the requirements, should they need additional pilots.

There's a very nice piccie of the Utterly Butterlies on page 16 of the latest Pilot mag. If you look very carefully, you may even notice their plane :E

One of the UB gals was in a mens' magazine recently - she was the centrefold spread.

Coat, hat, etc. :}

Hear they turned down Flora when she applied.

You know this is going to end up in Jet Blast, don't you?

I understand that the main requirement is to be able to fly accurately whilst being distracted by a shapely bum!.
Tough job but someone has to do it.
Keep the butterly jokes going - this is the last year of UB sponsorship so new jokes required next year - something to do with cosmetics I think but Im sure as soon all is signed up the publicity machine will spring into life.

A great bunch of people. Give excellent value for their sponsor.

Met Mike D and Martyn C quite a few times and always helpful. Even though the girls change around quite a bit they are always friendly and can down a pint of Pimms in 30 seconds!!!

Well, it gives you something to line up with on the centreline. It must be the only time that you welcome a crack in the windscreen :E

OK HF, I can do a heck of a lot worse............

I wonder if there's a Freda or a Hasell ?

Exactly why are they called the Butterlies ?

Keep the puns coming while you can folks.

Last weekend at a display overhead an airfield somewhere in Suffolk the commentator was ladling on the hints that a new sponsorship deal was done and dusted.

Question is who would be the ideal sponsors?:} :} :}

Who cares? As long as the cheque doesn't bounce. (Boeing, boeing, boeing, boeng.........)

The UB ladies I know would consider that to be VERY slow! ;)

I saw their display at an airshow in the French Med. resort of Valras Plage a few weeks ago. Local paper there billed them as Utterly Bitterly!

My guess is that the new sponsors would have to be "Loaded"!
Perhaps the girls would then be starkers and we could call them "Utterly Smutilly":8

Tiger_Moth,
I know I said this to you in the pub the other night but....I must be there with a camera if the UB guys take you on. Not to photograph the utterly Butterly Girls, but to photograph the utter confusion on your face when you are given your first brief.

Chief Pilot:Good morning, welcome to the utterly Butterlies and congratulations on being selected.
You:Thank you for this amazing chance to make a living. (rubbing hands and drooling)
Chief Pilot: Ok, no time to waste, time to slip inside and turn her up and down.
You: (Trot's of towardsFlora ad Marge, Massive grin)
Chief Pilot: No. Oh No, OH God No. I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE BLOODY STEARMAN. SLIP INSIDE THE STEARMAN!
You: How long am I bonded for? (sheer disapointment on face)

I'll take the camera as you have no flair for photography.
