Ugliest Plane of WW2? (4 Viewers)

[jj1982]

well, back to the aircraft situation....for fear of sounding like a twat and sitting on the fence.....(shit where that splinter come from?) i think that most of the aircraft was butt ugly...(like the american women) but i cant possibly pinpoint any singular machine.....mainly through lack of pics!

 

[cheddar cheese]

no i think the opposite, very few planes looked ugly 8)

 

[jj1982]

just seen a pic of the gloster metoer......i think it looks bloody awful!

I disagree with you strongly JJ1982 - most of the planes during WW2 were beautiful...you want ugly? look at most modern Jets....boring and bloody butt ugly! I quite like American women (the ones you see on TV anyway...Hmmm Angelena Jolie ) but if you want ugly...look for German women!

I think the XP-55 Ascender, american plane with no tail but four guns in the nose........odd looking thing

The Fw 189 was a beautiful, braceful machine. For me the P-47 ain't too cute, and the Vengeance/ vindicator/ Helldiver are all butt-ugly. For ugliest plane ever though, two words: Fairey Gannet

 

[jj1982]

ooh thats a good one....i still think that most planes aren't pretty to look at....

 

[bronzewhaler82]

With a name like 'Gannet' its hardly going to be a monet is it??

 

[jj1982]

nor a picasso

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i've seen 1 for real, they're huge

 

[jj1982]

i'm afraid i can never remember what aircraft i've seen...my memory is like a sieve!

 

[bronzewhaler82]

You've been in a Dehavilland Rapid (passenger Biplane) and a B-17 (Sally B) with me - your memory is more like a hole!

 

[jj1982]

i been in more than that...i just cant remmeber...out comes the old picture albums"

 

[cheddar cheese]

ive never been in any ww2 planes, mainly cos ive only been interested in them since christmas

 

[bronzewhaler82]

Well you'll get a chance at Yeovil...i can't remember much about that one museum actually but i'm almost certain theres an aircraft you can board...please don't quote me on that though as i could be wrong (it has been known to happen) 8)

 

[jj1982]

Another good one is the RAF Manston museam.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Nah really, you guys will have a great time - loads of things to see and i bet you'll come back with a whole load of new fav planes (maybe that will give us all a break from Lancs tireless pursuit of turning us all into rabid fans of the big old bomber... )

I bet he'll change his profile name to 'The Martlet kicks ass!'
