Note to driver, as far as I know, they don't charge any extra for putting all the wheels on the ground ...:D

Sentinel sure is ugly.
:yuk:
Holy moly, thats ugly.
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.

Ewww yes .. a bit like a teenager perhaps? Lots of natural beauty, spoilt only by the presence of some minging zits :eek:

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'

Although the Sentinel is hideously ugly, it isn't even close to being as ugly as the Nimrod '2000'.....aka MRA4 :yuk:!!

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?
:ouch:

It looks as though three strips of insulating tape are holding the front of the lower pannier on to the rest of it . . .

This calls for a new thread - 'Ugly ac through the years'. Shall we start with the Amiot 143?

Applying the old adage that 'if it looks right - it will fly right', this thing should be consigned to the hangar!

Well, by all accounts, the Sentinel is a dream to fly. Loadsa power and very responsive controls. It even has a rather modern glass cockpit.
Anyway, what is the point in unnecessarily wearing out the nosewheel on the runway?
:rolleyes:
