Hi all ...
A slight twist on the venerable Caption Competition. Every aircraft type, airframe and cockpit can said to be remembered by a particular olfactory experience (be it pleasant or unpleasant !) … so I thought some PPRuNe’rs might like to join in by offering a few photos and some descriptive prose in the style of a Perfumer or Sommelier in an effort to create a virtual “Scratch & Sniff” thread … all good clean (please !) fun. For those unfortunate enough to undertake cockpit noxious fume drills … this could offer another dimension !
A first offering from me to kick-off …
Eau de DH1
A subtitle fragrance with base notes of avgas and hot leather punctuated by top notes of cordite and a whiff of sweat … and if you were particularly “unfortunate” during the summer … the effluvia from a previous aerobatic session emanating from the “baked deposit” around the rear seat P.11 compass !
Regards …
