This advertisment is a shining example of the shotgun marriage of cologne and motorless flight. The contradictions are so diametrically opposed so as to touch each other again in a way that matches and an arsonist do. The opening scene shows the glider obviously not flying VFR (are the rules different in England?) and also in close proximity to the chase aircraft. Does this underlie the allure and danger of wearing the aforementioned scent? But is the actor Henry Cavill a real glider pilot? I suspect not. The next scene shows the actor/pilot giving a poor example of lookout. He is not gazing from wing tip to wing tip and appears to be in a dive with his head thrown back. Does he suffer from negative G sensitivity? His lookout technique does improve in the subsequent secnes though. There are several cut scenes of the glider slicing gracefully through the air. Unfortunately I cannot really see the point of these scenes apart from the visual asthetics. (these scenes are reminiscent of Dawn flight where the frustrated onanist is caressing the glider with unhealthy attention). Next we see our intrepid aviator flying over downtown London. He was lucky not to be shot down. Plus there were no outlanding options (outlanding is for pussies anyway!). However when he does decide to outland, the paddock selection leaves much to be desired (tall trees on approach and each side). Note, when he does finally alight from the cockpit, he is not wearing a terry towelling hat, and only has three day's growth. He doesn't tie the glider down. This is hardly an example to set for our newer members. I also note that he has four buttons on the cuff of his suit sleeve, what a show off! If 51.3N smells like a sheep paddock, Dunhill might be onto a winner here...
