Respect!!!! Yes, three magnificent ones. Almost anything with a delta wing gets my vote.
For civils, it is VC-10 (and the Super even more so) which is triumphant. I am biased as she was my first flight, aged 9, and the lines are the finest. Concorde is in a Catergory of her own.
To be controversial, no tri-motor can ever look pretty. The 727 may have been very fast but she looks terrible.

(OK, it's a 4 motor really, even if no.4 was rarely used. 5 if you include the APU!)

The Sea Harrier FRS1;
If I had a brain I'd post a pic, see www.harrier.org.uk/history
I once heard a product support chap explaining to his secretary what the pitot probe was for:
" oh, I thought that was for styling" !!!
