An earlier thread about the attraction of Luftwaffe aircraft elicited a response about their exoticness, and mention the Ho 229. "A what?" I thought... and therein followed the most interesting few hours of surfing to find out as much about this amazing aircraft as I could.
If new 262's can be built with modern turbines, what about one of these!! Imagine turning up to an airshow and seeing this!

I've got one question though - how is it that something can look so sleek and elegant in the air and yet look so d*mn ugly on the ground?
