It is the exception that proves the rule "if it looks like, it'll fly right".
One of the nicest looking jets ever built in my opinion. And some real strengths - particularly the low running costs and complete disregard of turbulence and whilst elderly, the cockpit ergonomics were pretty straightforward and allowed you to get your job done without too much excess mental effort.
Just the risk of departing controlled flight (permanently) if it ever went above the very low alpha limit, lack of thrust to maintain a tight turn, enormous take-off distances, unreliable NAVWAS, tendency to compressor stall at altitude, and the fact that nobody ever brought one back fully serviceable - those minor issues all let it down a little.
But it is a fantastically pretty aeroplane.
