Funny how the British can make the worlds most
graceful (Spitfire) and the most ugly (Blackburn II,
Gannett) airplanes.

NOOOOO! I refuse to accept that the Gannet is ugly. Portly, yes, but
not ugly. The only really ugly Faireys that I can think of were the
Barracuda and the drone versions of the Firefly.

The Blackburn Blackburn was indeed a horror, as was its Avro
counterpart, the Bison.
