I have to disagree. IMO the Gannet (apart from the AEW.3) is a handsome aircraft, although not beautiful by any means. If you want ugly, look at the McD Phantom and the Apache. I never liked the Valiant much, either. -- Peter |

I never liked the Valiant much, either. Apache is not part of the mix, since rotary-winged aircraft have to be ugly in order for them to be repelled by the Earth and thus fly. I think the Phantom II was a great looking aircraft. YMMV.
