Hmmm. Each to their own I guess.

For me its the Convair 880/990. Both are true stunna's!

Nothing against the Convairs, guess I am just not old enough to remember seeing one in the air.

I think I only ever saw one in the flesh as a wee toddler.

I remember saying to myself 'nice plane'. It was a SPANTAX 990 making a rare appearance into EGCC in the late 1970's.

The whole aircraft just astonishes me though. :shock:
