Seems the Brits have a way when they design aircraft...

Another graceful aircraft of theirs was the de Havilland DH 106 Comet.

I had an uncle who flew a Spitfire, but I don't know which one. He was really good at it.

The TU-95 was their strategic bomber, the TU-114 was the commercial passanger variant of the TU-95.

The TU-160 White Swan is their most modern bomber



The latest Russian 4th gen concept fighter is the Suhkoi S-37 Berkut

Hey, I like the looks of that TU-160.

Many Avro engineers moved to the US after the Arrow cancellation.

A good contender and even a close second, but for pure menace, this has to take the prize:
