Gloster Javelin

twin-engined all-weather interceptor aircraft designed and produced by the Gloster Aircraft Company. It was operated by the Royal Air Force from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s and was the final aircraft design to bear the Gloster name.

If I had to pick one Cold War interceptor with pure "heavy metal" aesthetics, I'd pick the Su-15 "Flagon." Just look at it: twin massive engines, a bulging cockpit, a bulbous nose, and a grim reputation for killing Boeings. Pure rock and roll🤘
