When I saw the title of this thread I thought" there aren't any realy ununattractive aircraft from ww2"
Kind of depends on the angle (and the bomb pods)View attachment 505782
Vickers Wellesley was no beauty. Surprisingly ungainly
Wow............. Maybe the goal was to cause such visual discomfort among attacking pilots that they would be unable to continue or risk permanent eye damage.I really didn't intend to disparage the British, but who thought this was a good idea? The Fleet Shadower

Steady on there. There's nowt wrong with the Wellesley. Damn fine aircraft!
Yes, I'm hurrumpf-ing!!
I must confess I had not considered the effect of range as a limiting factor in the efficacy of ugly as a defensive asset.Not likely as most German planes didn't have the range to fly where the Shadower would be flying.
