Default Ugliest plane of all time

My vote goes to the Westland P12. Back in the early stages of WWII, when the
British were still afraid of invasion, they designed this as a ground attack
aircraft. They took a Westland Lysander (already not beautiful) and cut off the
rear fuselage and empennage. They then grafted on a second wing in place of the
tail, mounted low with vertical stabilizers on the ends. Looked sort of like the
tail of a B-24 Liberator. Then they mounted a large turret with two cannon on
top and to the rear of this second wing.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
