Please, you have no taste in aeroplanes, just look at the ugly nose of the P.108 that you idolise

I dont idolise its looks. The nose is a bit disastrous yes.

Im sorry but I think most British planes look either very dull or very ugly.

Come on people... tastes are not to be disscused... I myself am a fighter shape lover... ) I like bombers too, but not as much... I love the slim casing and the agility of a fighter. BOmbers are tough, durable, resistant... They have to be bigger, diffrent fuselage, diffrent looks... Everybody has his own tastes...

Please people!!! You can see by the sleek graceful lines of the mossie,
that she was built for speed. Especially the streamlined fuselage that tapers towards the back. she's a beautiful lady.

By the way, comparing radial fighters with inline/Vee engine jobs, Which is the better looking out of these two.

1. P51D Mustang or the P47D Thunderbolt????

IT HAS to be the mustang!!! THERE ARE VERY FEW good looking radials.
