Hmmmm. I can understand it being called beautiful, but THE most beautiful WW2 aircraft?



Shhh!! Keep those opinions to yourself haha.


Rivalry and the fact its NOT the most beautiful aircraft of WW2 (Hawker Hurricane takes that accolade im afraid) aside....


Congrats on making it through 75 years and wowing the crowds with your merlin/griffon engine. A sound that gives you goose bumps all over. A remarkable piece of machinery and surely the greatest fighter plane of WW2..... AFTER the Battle of Britain

Hats of the R J Mitchell. Sorry you didnt get to see the Spitfire fly sir.
