Seriously ugly aircraft though at least to my eyes

You do wonder how that worked in the cockpit really, it looks like quite a tight squeeze anyway.

[Simpo Two]

It has something of the Tornado about it.

I read somewhere the design was ripped from the Northrop A9

You can kind of see it in the wings. Not sure whether this story holds any water. I've always had a soft spot for rugges, ugly ground attack aircraft.

To my mind the jet pipes have a little look of a Buccaneer about them....
