    Madness doesn't always howl. Sometimes its a quiet voice in the middle of a model build that says "Hey buddy, is there room in your head for one more?"

    “The entrance to the cockpit of this aircraft is most difficult. It should have been made impossible.” — Flight Journal magazine, April 2000, regards the XF10F-1, Grumman's first attempt at a swing wing fighter.

    Ok, I'm going to have to force these words out...I prefer the looks of the Arrow (it would be even better with a less enclosed canopy).

    Phew...made it. Having got that off my chest, I must now point out that the TSR.2 is one of my all-time favourite aircraft. If only it had entered service...

    Arrow.
    Shame that Canada & the UK did not pursued a cooperation for both planes, maybe Australia joining in.

    The TSR2 is still a very sore point with many in the UK - bl**dy government murderers! Way ahead of its time, and would still be active today, with up-grades.
    Whilst neither aircraft can be called pretty, I have to say (cough) that the Arrow wins on overall looks.

    Good lord I don't think anybody in the UK can talk with a straight face about Canopys after you messed up the Chipmunk

    I did not "mess up the Chipmunk". I had nothing to do with that incident. Some big boys did it and ran away! Anyway, I hear the Chipmunk is doing much better now and the therapy is working.

    Hard. TSR.2 by a nose.

    Here's another question using both these examples, which one's cancellation pisses you off the most!
    Which part of "NO" do you not understand?
