Why does everyone hate on the Victor? It, besides the Typhoon, is one British plane that actually looks capable of flight. Looks like a bigass X-1 to me.

Agreed. It's an exception to the usual rules of European aircraft design. If it's ugly, it's British. If it's weird, it's French. If it's ugly and weird, it's Russian!

Oh, and I took this one a few years ago at the CAF museum in Midland, TX. I have no earthly idea what it is.

Is that supposed to be like a flying aircraft carrier. If so that's awesome.

UGLIEST ... perhaps ... but still the 3rd best all-time of the jet era ...
