Is that 5 Sqn's maple leaf on the tail, and did I not read recently that 5 was to get Typhoons soon? If so, what happens to these ugly b*st*rds? With a bit of luck there's only one of them.

Tis 5 Sq's badge and apparently there's five of them, this being Number 1, according to my 'binker' friends.

The badge on the side of the cockpit is the crest of the City of Lincoln. Waddington aircraft have worn that for many years, since the station received 'Freedom of the City'

Beagle,
I'll call your MR4 and raise to Nimrod AEW3! Now that was ugly, although probably not as bad as some of those who flew in it......
Is this this thread changing to ask what was the ugliest aircraft ever built?

Are the treasury getting windows on the drip?, buy two this year, add two next year etc until they get a full set 
Applying the old adage that 'if it looks right - it will fly right', this thing should be consigned to the hangar!
Anyway, what is the point in unnecessarily wearing out the nosewheel on the runway?
