Nope, nope and nopePorcupine wrote:I think the bubble canopy was a big improvement in the looks department.
But then I have never thought the Spitfire was an especially handsome aircraft. Give me a Mustang, Thunderbolt, Tempest or Sea Fury any day!

Ugly dept: Westland Whirlwind, Boulton Paul Defiant and Blenheim..
Defo Hunter, Spitfire Vulcan and Mosquito...HMM the Bucaneer wasn't too bad....
Saw a Blackbird at PIMA Air museum, now THAT is impressive kit. They also have a B29 and B17 you can have a peek inside, outdoors there are a couple of B52's and loads of other stuff, various Migs, F111's, Sabres, Thunderchiefs etc all the good stuff from Vietnam war era..
they even got a Hurricane and a Hunter.
