Don't forget the Handley Page Victor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handley_Page_Victor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handley_Page_Victor

  I think the Victor still looks futuristic, menacing, and strangely beautiful. A Buck Rogers fantasy brought to life.

    The head-on view is particularly badass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Handley_Page_HP-80_Victor_K2_AN1103895.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Handley_Page_HP-80_Victor...

    I agree. It’s ungainly for sure, but I wouldn’t call it ugly. Besides, if I were going to pick a British warplane originating from that era as the ugliest, I’d have to go with the Nimrod.

      I agree about the distasteful look of the Nimrod. As for the Victor: ''Thunderbirds are go!''

      AEW3 variant I would agree, the original was a sleek conversion the dH Comet. Pretty nice design for a plane that first flew in the 40s! The Victor was also a sleek futuristic design and the every bit as impressive as the Vulcan. Never a fan of the Gloster Javalin; something was always off in the proportions as well as just looking chunky.

  One of the most beautiful planes ever built IMHO (in how futuristic it still looks) :)

  What are you talking about, that's one of the most beautiful planes ever built.

  This is beautiful, it's very futuristic looking.
