Used for some pretty evil purposes, but still the most beautiful plane that has ever flown:

Except when they do this.

Those Victors look like something out of Dan Dare / Flash Gordon.
They still fly too - occasionally:

How on earth has this thread got into double figures without a Vulcan?
First saw the "new" one back in the air at Windermere a couple of years ago. Beautiful day, then it came in, sleek and low and almost silent. Until it turned it's back to us, and pulled up. Oh my God the NOISE. Incredible.
I'd forgotten the sound they make, I was really young the last time I saw a flying one.

That's a gorgeous shot of the TSR.2, Harry.
Bristol Type 188:
I suppose that the Spitfire could look quite nice in the right light, too:

Now we're talking.
That's a lovely shot of the Buran (Russian Space Shuttle) back there.
Vaguely amusing trivia - on the US carrier aircraft, next to the mounting pylon it says "attach Orbiter here (note: black side down)"...

Someone pretty please post a pic of a McDonnell Phantom!
And a Warthog tank-buster; beautiful yet ugly at the same time.......

The STW forum as always proves that people have differing opinions - I really don't get the beauty of that at all (not suggesting it's ugly, just fairly ordinary in a "get a child to draw a plane" sort of sense).Here's my far prettier offering:

Goblin Parasite fighter anyone? hairbrained, bloody dangerous and ultimately useless!

The Mosquito's a fine looking aircraft but would have looked much better if its inner wings didn't stick so far forward of its outer wings and if its tail wasn't behind its rudder. IMO, anyway, and it's not like these aesthetic things held it back in any way.

Yes it is. The photo was taken at the 2009 Leuchars airshow.
As a child I was contrary and much preferred the Hurricane to the Spitfire. Seeing this PR.19 Spitfire in PRU blue was one of the first times that I really appreciated the aesthetics of the Spitfire.

There's something very haunting about watching a thing of such beauty just drop out of the sky.
(Don't worry. It has a happy ending for the pilot.)

That's not a proper Spit anyway, it's got a griffon engine in it!
