Old aviation saying I just heard

[Float Pilot]

If it's ugly, it's British.

Unless of course it is / was one of the following:

Sopwith Pup
Sopwith Camel
SE-5
Hawker Hurricane
Supermarine Spitfire
DeHavilland Mosquito
Hawker Tempest
Hawker Fury
Dehavilland Hornet
The Canberra
The Neptune
The Vickers Vulcan aka Avro Vulcan
Panavia Tornado
The Typhon

Those all pretty much look exactly like a plane should look.

That's funny! And sounds about right (except some British warplanes, spitfires are quite handsome in my opinion)

In the aviation community, there's an old saying when trying to identify photos of old airplanes:

If it's ugly, it's British.

If it's weird, it's French.

If it's ugly and weird, it's Russian.
