Never understood why British designers prefered either, engines buried in the wing, or rear mounted, as opposed to pylon mounted engines.

I would imagine that's why Britiain was so different, because of our deisgn's.

Aircraft today are all the same layout and boring.

In terms of looks, what looks better an A320 or a VC-10 ?

Id go for the VC-10 as the layout looks 'clean'.
