When I was learning to glide, I was asked to drive one of the club tug pilots to bring back a Tiger Moth tug from servicing. This particular pilot was very petite and extremely feminine (last heard of her when her photo was in the paper as half of the first British all female airline crew).

When we arrived at the hangar, the engineers started to talk to me and, even when we pointed out the she was the pilot, they found it difficult to look at her when discussing details of the servicing and I'm sure they thought we were pulling their legs.

When she placed a huge cushion on the rear seat and then proceeded to strap in, their faces were a picture.
