Modified beasts & Ugly ducklings

[VEGAS]

Hi all,

having seen a vast array of beautiful and classic Aircraft hacked to pieces and extensively modified over the years for various reasons, I think I have found one of the worst and ugliest ones to date. This one appeared on Airliners and made me actually feel sorry for the poor machine. Perhaps even worse than the dreadful AEW Nimrod! Anyone got any better offerings?

I quite like the AEW Nim... we were all so full of hope for it... to bad the technology didn't work :-(

Looking at the first photo there seems to have been something of a design oversight. They’ve boarded up the crew entrance!! ;-) :doho:

Does that first one remind anyone of the elephant man?
