Yeah...but you missed a bit off the end...i think it was supposed to read "The Halifax is the greatest eyesore"

and nutter...everyone here will agree with you that the Swordfish was a great plane but MAN was it ugly...other people seemed to think so to looking at the votes.....

 

[cheddar cheese]

none of the planes on that lst are ugly

 

[bronzewhaler82]

Well alot of people seem to disagree with you...and if you don't think an Me323 was ugly then you need your eyes testing mate!

 

[plan_D]

The Miles M39 was the ugliest without a doubt...it's not on the list, but still.

i take offence i think the 323 looked great, dominating even

That's what they have, don't think it's full aircraft though, last time I went most were in pieces except the Gannet. I know they aren't all WW2 but I though someone might be interested, it's Sandtoft airfield if anyone has heard of it. It was an aerodrome in World War 2, so some of you should know, at least.

I am amazed that nobody has mentioned the Amiot 143. It is in my opinion the uglyest ever. Like a box with wings. Go find some pictures of it now, I don't know how to post them.

 

[Crazy]

Amiot 143:

 

[bronzewhaler82]

Yeah the Amiot 143 WAS ugly but somehow i don't think it was the ugliest...its actually been mentioned by me before now in the 'Worst aircraft of WW2' thread - go check it out 8)

 

[cheddar cheese]

i still think the lancaster was the ugliest plane of WW2 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

, it wasn't and the swordfish was beautiful, how dare it even be on the list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cheddar cheese]

and the swordfish was beautiful

i wouldnt say beautiful, it did look a bit of a dog, but it so ugly it looks good 8)

 

[bronzewhaler82]

, it wasn't and the swordfish was beautiful, how dare it even be on the list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well 15% of the voters disagreed with you lanc...including myself - it was Butt ugly!

 

[kiwimac]

Hey the Swordfish was OK! It was the Buffalo that was Butt ugly!

[bronzewhaler82]

The Swordfish is ugly

even its 'affectionate' nickname was 'stringbag' hardly very flattering is it?
