Nah na na nah nah! Don't care, tis ugly, more so than an ugly duckling. Might have done some good service, with courageous pilots, but the designer needed his ar*e kicking. I mean, fat little belly, wing in the wrong place, undercart designed to tip over. Looks like it was designed by a committee, probably former politicians!

That's running a close fourth or fifth. There are other, uglier British aircraft from the period. Skua, Roc, Botha, and probably more, but can't think of them at the moment.

I love the 'name' made by the code and roundels, and if it was (almost) any other aircraft, I'd do it. But there's no way I can bring myself to build something that has less visual appeal than a Trabant! I'd even find football more interesting! The bl**dy thing looks like that awful 1970's Jaguar, the XJS(?), a collection of afterthoughts, all stuck together - maybe that's what inspired the French to design and build the 2CV?
I can see the committee now:-
Fred "So, who's finished drawing the fuselage?"
Bill "Jim's got a bit done, and George has done another bit."
Fred "OK, stick them together and that's that bit done. What about a wing?"
Jim "There's one left over from last months committee meeting."
Fred "That'll do."
George "Where we going to put the wheels then?"
All "Oh, b*ll*cks!"
"Hang on" piped up Moira "There's a couple of golf carts out back."
To be continued.......if there's any more mention of me doing THAT monstrosity!!
