Talking Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Plane of World War II

Suuuuweeeeeeeeeet!

Yes, FlyXwire,

Ain't she a beauty? She lives round the corner from me in Kelvingrove Art Galleries and Museum. Ten minutes walk from my door. Whenever I get sick of looking at French Impressionists, I wander round to this gallery and there she is....a sight for sore eyes.

Some people were concerned about her hanging on wire when I posted an article about her on the Hanger some time ago, but I talked with some experts and some Museum officials and they have assured me that she is quite safe as she has been specially braced and strengthened to take the weight at these points ( unlike most other women! )

My vote still goes to her ( despite Skunky's vote for the other British Designed classic, the Mustang! )
