While the Sultan had mixed blessings about the whole glider idea; he did instruct me to do a series of drawings of the glider for various documents of official purposes. Petina thought this was a wonderful time for me to practice my figure drawing skills. I guess if the glider had looked primitive or clunky it might not have been stood out like a sore thumb. But no! It was some modern sleek looking flying wing that was bright violet and yellow. FYI. The canopy and paint came the modern world. When one of the moderns commented about the Prime Directive in relation to the glider the response was" we papered the wings of the glider with them".
