Great shots .... really like #3 .....but it's hard to find words to describe this aircraft. Maybe the blueprints were misinterpreted

[jankees]

I always had the feeling they made it with parts that they had left after they built the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster etc...

But as with some other odd aircraft, it does have a certain charm in its own right...I think

Of all the torpedo bombers used during WW2, the Barracuda gets my vote for the most aggressive looking type.
By the way, did I mention that I like odd aircraft ?

Is this Rob Richardson's Barracuda for MSFS? Is it out yet?

It is indeed, but no, not out yet. He sent me a copy to slap a bit of paint on...

A wise move! They're great looking repaints and screenshots. I've always liked Fairey aircraft ... such ugly ducklings ... the Gannet, Firefly etc. ... not forgetting the amazing Swordfish!
