It is with great pleasure that I can announce the winner of Flight’s prestigious “points for trying” award from the Friday warm-up day for this year’s Royal International Air Tattoo goes to the crew of the German army Sikorsky CH-53K transport helicopter.

Aircrews have never been particularly shy around females, but special mention must be made of this subtle attempt to attract the right sort of visitor to their aircraft; notice the “Ladies only” message chalked above the side door. Perhaps if their luck doesn’t improve over the weekend they could always fall back on the factually accurate rotary boast: “I’m a [Super] Stallion”!
