Thank you guys!
Yes, #3 is my favorite as well. You are right, it doesn't have the lines of a Spitfire, but she was a technological prowess too. Fast, airborne radar, bullet shield to protect the pilot during the attack phase, pressurized cockpit, ejection seats... The Cadillac of night fighting... It was complicated to build though, and political bickering led to few numbers being built and put in service. Had they been built in numbers, who knows, maybe it could have put a serious dent in allied night bombing operations...
