[Shortround6]

Salmson 9 AD on a Taylor E-2 Cub, used a a variety of light planes in around 1930, it was an elegant and smooth but expensive way to get 40hp.

Considering the other posts on this thread, this little feller is downright cute!

Suggesting that the Hurricane is unattractive might get you banned or at the very least flogged by Lucky's 800 pound Aunt Hildegaard.

Being a (British) war icon doesn't take away any of its ugliness. That's really the only reason its aesthetics are hold dear. Agree?

Same with the Lancaster.

Dr. Zarkov, your ship is ready!

You know there is a Doctor Zarkov who is a prolific paper model designer with his own web shop? A very friendly man at that if I can judge from several exchanges of E-Mails: www.cadbest.com

Disagree very strongly on both!

Lanc appears to have been modeled a stunning beauty, then partly melted, then built to the partly melted model. "Ugly" would be best applied to anything the Lanc bombed.

Strongly disagree. The Hurricane isn't a pretty aeroplane, at least not in the way a Spitfire is pretty. However, it's anything but ugly. Purposeful? Yes. Pugnacious? Yes. Charismatic? Yes. Ugly? Definitely not!!!!

I don't think the Lancaster is ugly either. I'd place it second to the B-17 in the looks department when compared to all other WW2 4-engined heavy bombers.

If we are bringing in vodka-fueled dreams, we should start bringing in the heroin dreams from the Luft46 site.....

I've been trying to find that issue of the National Lampoon for quite a while. I just couldn't remember the title of that article. Thank you.
