Indeed, the light and texture, and colours contrasting with the cloud behind...wonderful.

I'll say, that would make an awesome oil painting on a wall

Thanks guys, I just love looking at that thing.
You have to remind yourself that in the days before computational fuid dynamics and finite element analysis, it had to "look right", and then probably would fly right.
But somebody sat down and drew those first lines, which would be the basis of the whole development.
RJ Mitchell never saw his creation rise to the challenges it would meet in battle (he died in 1937).
But I bet he knew just how good it was - the same feeling you get when the golf shot goes "click' on the driver and the ball shoots off, straight and true.
It's a work of near-genius even today.

Um Ian, I don't think this was meant to be taken literally,
