Easy to see why it won............ Absolutely! In my books, it's the most beautiful aircraft of all - followed in a distant second place by the Boeing 727 - the wing on that aircraft is aeronautical perfection.

The Mystic is the closest second in my book, maybe tied with the Handley-Page 42. But nothing beats a Connie...........

The Mystic is the closest second in my book, maybe tied with the Handley-Page 42. But nothing beats a Connie........... Although I don't agree with some of your ideas of ugly (especially the HP Victor and the Bucc), there's no doubt in my mind that the Connie is by far the best-looking piston-engined airliner. First saw Connies at Heathrow in the fifties, and remember being amazed at the angle the nose leg and wheel took when the aircraft turned. Let's hope we'll see at least one on the UK air show circuit this year. -- Peter Ying tong iddle-i po!
