May 14, 2004 #2 plan_D Lieutenant Colonel 11,643 21 Apr 1, 2004 You're blind, never did the Spitfire look dull, far from it.
May 14, 2004 #3 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 From an physical standpoint, the only advantage the Hurricane had over the Spit is that it gave its pilot a better view out of the cockpit.

May 14, 2004 #4 plan_D Lieutenant Colonel 11,643 21 Apr 1, 2004 That's from a practical point of view, we are thinking of looks here. The Spitfire was the better looking.

May 14, 2004 #5 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 Yeah. I would agree with that. There was too much framing on the Hurricane.

May 15, 2004 #9 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 What about the Hurricane's canopy looked better than the Spit's?

May 15, 2004 #11 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 The entire Spit looked prettier than the Hurricane. The fuselage looked racier. The wings were thinner and sleak looking. And those elipitcal wings were absolutely gorgeous.

May 17, 2004 #14 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 The only Marks of Spit that should be considered ugly were the tropical versions. I know that the filters were essential but they spoiled the lines.
