Thanks for reminding us. I think that comes from the Putnam books "Vickers Aircraft" with several versions of Twin-VC-10 and Triplex-DC-10 . Overleafing this book in York, UK, I bought it immediately. This was 8 years ago, visiting my sister working in England... Thanks for this nice memory.

Less far away in the past, our dear Linzifox talked about these multiple-VC-10 in the topic

Making me draw one more freak Dakota following this principle... Nice memory too. Dear Linzi, where are you?

whoa...is that ever cool !

I'd love to build one of those. With that giant center wing, I'd bet it could really haul fuel !

This kind of layout is not passed away: see the 1999 (Chinese?) Patent CN1231247/WO99-52759 of 10-engined "Marine Flying Boat refitted from airplane":

Hmmmmm... Now who do we know who likes building flying boats and ekranoplans...?  ^_^

Anyone got a couple of cheap Tu-154s lying around?
