Most of the figures in the competition rule book have names that make sense - Steps Down, Wedge, Octagon, etc. Figure #14 contains two vertical dives with curving recoveries. If you don't have the book in front of you, I'll tell you that it looks like two "U's" being flown side by side. This figure is called "The Bristols". Why? How did this figure get it's name.?

You folks across the pond correct me if I'm wrong. There are two twin cities. The Bristol Cities. Rhymes with titties. Which would give rise to phrases such as "She's got a nice set of Bristols".

When World Cup was in Bristol (1991), I led a tour through the countryside for outlanders who attended the Bristol Int. Kite Fest and stuck around for World Cup the next weekend. Sarah Kent from London dubbed our tour the Cleavage Tour, Because it was between the Bristols.
