The most beautiful aircraft? Bo-ring. It's been done and anyway it's the Hunter.
Let's hear about the ugliest, post WW2, limit 3 per person.
Mine:
Vickers Valiant
Blackburn Beverley
Britten-Norman Trislander

Super Guppy
A 380
Beech 1900
I can not stand a bulbuous head on an aeroplane.It's got to be sleek and laid back like an eel's head/body.

Got to agree on the last two ... YUK!!!! ... but I quite like the Valiant.

To make up my three, I nominate the F-117. For all its innovation I think it's quite hideous! I actually had a ride in a Beverley once. It wasn't any prettier inside laugh.gif

Well the info from the first link says:

"Following an agreement between the Polish and Soviet governments ... "

So you can understand why it looks the way it does laugh.gif

Lawrie,


I did stipulate post WW2. So far Naki's comittee-designed M-15 is going to be hard to beat.
