Even the landing gear's beautiful - look at that nose wheel hub!

Absolutely! In my books, it's the most beautiful aircraft of all -
followed in a distant second place by the Boeing 727 - the wing on that

The Mystic is the closest second in my book, maybe
tied with the Handley-Page 42.

But nothing beats a Connie...........
