Utterly Butterly pilots

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

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

Coat, hat, etc.

UB

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

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 ?
