To me the Stupid Design Award was awarded permanently to Shorts for the Belfast CMk1.

All of it. But especially the engine cowlings .. "oh God chiefy not again pleeese chief, sob,sob...Gimme a VC10 just this once."

I have visions of Republican designers working away into the wee small hours cackling with glee -- "Sure and begorrah dis'll sort out dem British Air Force b*ggers when it gets to the squadrons..."

I still have the scars to prove it.
