Plus i totally agree with you on the sea vixen, sexy

I love this photo of the sea vixen

You would think the asymmetric cockpit layout would make it look ugly, but I think it just adds to the uniqueness of the plane. She's like a super hot pirate chick with an eye patch lol. Reminds me of the Millennium Falcon too

And yeah i really love the way the cockpit is.

shes definately one of my faves. Without a doubt

That is pretty cool. I'm guessing the asymetrical cockpit was to allow better visability of the landing area during left handed carrier traffic patterns. Anyone here know for sure, or better yet flown one?

Well If you look at the first pic again, http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...9&postcount=68 you can see to the right of the pilots cockpit is what was called the "Cole Hole". At the time it was thought that the radar operator had no need to have a forward view out of the plane. So the radar operators sat fully inside the plane with a small window to the side. This wasn't so popular though as 4 eyes are always better than 2 so no other 2 seater fighter plane has ever copied this.

Though it is all in the eye of the beholder, I think it would be a simple aircraft with good symmetry, gentle curves, and imagery representative of graceful, feared animals...



Some of those Brittish jets you guys posted, I couldn't tell if there was sarcasm involved... 0_o
