Spotted this yesterday. Apparently Russian-owned.

I'm no expert but thought it was interesting! Anybody know further information?

They've got millions to blow on a 70m Mega yacht and they go and call it Skat???? rofl

I'm assuming that "Scat" fetishists in whichever country the owner comes from have a different name for it in their language! If you don't know what it is, I'd heartily suggest not googling it, and instead imagining what some real weirdos get up to when they've run out of Andrex!

More traditionally it's jazz singing without words.

Legendary US fighter 'ace' Robin Olds named all his aircraft Scat **

From early WW2 and a P-38 'Scat II'



To one of his famous P-51 Mustangs late in WW2, Scat VI



And nearly 25 years later, in Vietnam, his F-4 Phantom, Scat XXVII biggrin

Got to admire the fighting spirit of a pilot who takes a knife to a dog fight.

An interesting character (as all top fighter leaders were). He served in WW2 and Vietnam but not Korea, due to not being a yes-man IIRC.
