 | The best looking has to be the Hally with that streamlinrd nose on the MkIII, there's no spot on the chin as CC has put it before

 | No it really has to be the Mossie. I suppose you could compare the Beaufighter but it wasnt really in th same league. |

| No for me it is just opinion and I dont like the way it looks. Besides by the time the war started she did not stand a chance against a Bf-109E.

| But if a 109 got in front of the Beau it would be goodbye for the 109

| Yeah was deffinatly better, and dont forget about the Bf-110. It was better then a beaufighter and could be used has a heavy fighter, torp, night fighter and such. She does not compare to a P-38 but would outfly a beaufighter.
