Having all three of the major German bombers of BoB flyable would be very nice, and the Beau is the ultimate brute that is impossible to not like
Weapons of war should be like that, it should be obvious which is the wrong end, and being in front of a Beaufighter is obviously the wrong end (as with the Fw 190
).
The famous quoute regarding weapon design from the "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" comes to mind:
"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. "Make it evil," he'd been told. "Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with."
