Even the landing gear's beautiful - look at that nose wheel hub!



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...........



Although I don't agree with some of your ideas of ugly (especially the
HP Victor and the Bucc),


The Victor wasn't in my Ugly Airplanes collection.
