The Britten-Norman always makes the list of the world's ugliest airplanes. This particular model is a sure winner for first place.
However, the performance of this aircraft appears to be good enough to overcome it's shortcomings in appearance. This example is obviously a military ISTAR asset, despite the civil registration.
 
First thing it reminded me of is an aircraft version of a Walter Matthau cartoon.
