Which ugly british aircraft should I make?
Moderators: Guru's, The Ministry
I'm pretty much of the same opinion as Tonks. None of those aircraft are ugly. I could do much better compiling an "ugly" aircraft list. No vote from me.
Would "GW Simulations" care to enlighten us of his/her identity?
Henk, is that the Shack here in the US? I'd like to kick whoever's arse is responsible for such a pitiful state. Any museum exhibiting an aircraft in a wet and corrosive environment should be prepared to properly protect their collection. Where is the rust coming from? Avro didn't give the Shack it's durability by building it out of steel, did it?

I know the Shack looks "tatty" to say the least, but I would like to suggest, that most of what appears to be corrosion, could simply be sand which has blown onto the "oily" bits, and stuck there.
One of Henks aircraft wash sessions would probably make a huge difference. :razz:
It would be nice to see her wearing wheel covers, also.
That oil dripping onto the tyre aint doing a lot of good.

Hi guys....been reading these post for months now, what a great place it is, keep up the good work you guys...This is my first post and i ask you to excuse the spelling and typing, so be gentle ok lol
It is almost imposible to chose any one of them but my vote has to be for the nimrod. I know some people in here dont like it and im ready to take the flack lol. Its british and thats what counts right.
going back to a preveous post about flightsim being biassed in favour of US desighns and glass cockpits. I would have to agree, there are stacks of classic aircraft that could be built, not all of them british designs but used here in the uk at some time. what abot a Phantom FGR2 or a hallifax or even a wellington? Some of the great flying boats from the 30's would be nice. stranrare, felixstow and so on. dont forget about the great "what might have been" desighns like the hawker p1081 and 1121 and of course the TSR2.
If i ever get my head round gmax im going to do some of these, so watch this space and get ready to offer advice. cheers fellas
