Is this the worst aircraft to fly? The Saunders Roe Lerwick

Is this the worst aircraft to fly during the Second World War? The Saunders Roe Lerwick, is not a terrible looking aircraft, however its handling qualities were far from it. Considered to be unstable both in the air and on water, only 21 were built. Of these 21, eleven were lost, ten of which were to incidents. Designed to a 1936 specification, the Lerwick would first fly in October 1938. It entered service in mid 1939, however was found to be a difficult aircraft. It could not be flown hands off, had vicious stall characteristics and could not fly on a single engine. That is just a start of the list of issues. While it remained in service at the beginning of the Second World War due to Britain having a shortage of machinery, it was quickly replaced in 1941 with the Consolidated Catalina flying boat. Continuing on briefly as a trainer by the end of 1942 all had been retired and were heading to the scrappers.
