IMHO the Brits have produced some of the most beautiful and some of
the most hideous aircraft, the Mosquito, Spitfire and Vulcan are
gorgeous planes, the Lancaster, Handley Page Victor and the Carvair
were beaten within an inch of their life by the ugly stick.

with muscular definition and others like them soft and squishy with
arm fat and butts the size of Rhode Island.
