Ekranoplan, ugliness in motion;

Most Awesome, really most awesome vid shot!!

That little flea plane is sooo cute.

Cute? CUTE???? A plane is not cute!

By the way, I think I’ve flown in that Trislander as well. From memory, Aurigny and LeCoqs are the only people that fly them in this country (I think). Love the way they fall over if the tail isn’t chocked.

Anyone who has flown to the IoM will have seen the Eider Duck

Willard – that is cute ^^^^

That Eider Duck reminds me of the Optica

I can’t believe the hell cat and corsair are in here! Funny as I’ve got 2 built up on my shelf. And the Beaufighter that’s one of my next builds. There’s an A10 up there somewhere too! Maybe I like ugly planes then 🙂

Is this allowed…

I give you another pic of the Fairey Gannet…..

So ugly only it’s mother could love it 🙂

And no classic ‘plane thread is complete without this old chestnut:-

B-52 aka BUFF Big Ugly Fat F@cker

I always thought the TSR 2 was pretty awesome. Straight out of Thunderbirds or some crazy Japanese animation. Tiger the Harrier is not allowed. However every time I see a Pigeon gliding I think of a Harrier!
