| From an physical standpoint, the only advantage the Hurricane had over the Spit is that it gave its pilot a better view out of the cockpit.

Country: | That's from a practical point of view, we are thinking of looks here.
The Spitfire was the better looking.

| Yeah. I would agree with that. There was too much framing on the Hurricane.

| The entire Spit looked prettier than the Hurricane. The fuselage looked racier. The wings were thinner and sleak looking. And those elipitcal wings were absolutely gorgeous.

Country: | it sure as hell does look sturdy, and yes, the wings of the spit were more attractive, and if you ask me, the spit Mk.V was just ugly.............

| The only Marks of Spit that should be considered ugly were the tropical versions. I know that the filters were essential but they spoiled the lines.

Country: | You always have to look good when you're killing someone 
The Spitfire was better looking, end of story.
