That is, without fear of contradiction, The Ugliest Airplane Ever Built.
Next yoy Anglophiles will tell me the Fairey Barrucuda is just lovely I suppose hmmm ☺
You would be o.k., Gary. They knew that if they shot the pilot, they would die too. Also their positions were higher than the pilot's.
I'm no Anglophile, but we've all seen worse than the Barracuda...I'd call it "utilitarian," much like how both the A-10 and F-117 are in their own ways finely tuned to Form Follows Function for their specific roles.
Loral Specter (unbuilt stealth fighter, some may remember it from the 1980s Monogram "F-19" model kit) they ain't, though...
