At least the Avro Vulcan was somewhat attractive. At the opposite end
of that spectrum there was the Armstrong Whitworth C1 Argosy. I got to see
one of these at RAF Machrihanish back in December 1975. It was probably the
last one left flying at that point as they were removed from the inventory
in that year, according to one online resource. The one I saw had the RAF
roundel and tail flash.
Even less attractive is the Short 360, which is just a step above the
deHaviland Heron. Try to imagine a 4-engine commuter aircraft powered by
six-cylinder Lycoming engines. PrinAir in Puerto Rico used those.
