If I understand your logic, the Belfast is superior as it hasn't had a hull loss?

I know little about Belfasts or C133's, but I do know something about the English language. I've often wondered which aircraft manufacturer first coined the euphemistic term "hull loss", as though it had been mislaid behind a hangar somewhere.

Sounds so much less scary than "crash", "fire" etc.
