Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Plane of World War II
Erm hate to disagree but you cant get more athletic than a Spit. The Spitfire MK1 to the MK1X were English roses but when the Gryphon engine was fitted she became a lean mean snarling fighting machine.So if you like your planes with plenty of UMPH then look ye no further.

If you would like to check them out go watch them beat up the airfield at Duxford on show days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, AWESOME.


BTW the Mustangs nice too!

Well there you go. Sounds like an ugly duckling story to me. It took time for the Spitfire to become a swan. The Mustang looked good from day 1.

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Poor Suckers!

Listen not to the honied tones of those who would ween you away from the fundamental truth ( which you know in your heart to be true ) that THE Spitfire family constitute the most perfect, most beautiful, most deadly ladies of the skies.

Like the beautiful woman sheathed in black sequined silk in all those 1940s Film Noir, she beguiles the opposition and and whispers death in the sweetest of voices.

No Contest!

I think he just had an accident. It is O.K. to love the Spitfire, just don't "love" the spitfire.

Re: Most Aesthetically Pleasing Plane of World War II
In more ways than one, this conversation is starting to remind me of a "Who's more beautiful, Lindsay Lohan or Kate Beckinsale?" discussion...

I heard someone say that all women are beautiful, in their own way. I am willing to concede the point, but there are some airplanes that are just plane ugly. Neither the Spitfire nor the Mustang falls into this category. Don't make me pick.
