Lightning, Mustang, Mirage with abnormal number of engines

[Tophe]

Inspired by Dizzyfugu's quad-engine Boeing 727 (see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=46769.30 ), here is a subsonic Mirage with 4 engines as well:

PS. Here VC does not mean Viet-Cong but Vickers Copyright or something like that.

from my double F-20 topic:

Years ago I started a project to siamese two F-5s together belly to belly to make a four-engined version.

These BeBe-38A, B, C have a Weaver Copyright! Thanks!

Another weird twin-engined Mirage 5 (refused), with jets happy to eat the pilot if using his ejection seat:

Here are other Lightnings with 4 engines driving 2 sets of contrarotative propellers, with shaft and gear:

In the famous code "P-51D", what was the meaning of D? I think this stands for Dornier:

This is famous, this is History: after the (Mustang P-51D) Dornier 335 push-pull came the (Mustang P-51C) Cessna 336 push-pull and its derivative the Cessna 337.  Not crazy dreams of mine but mass produced aircraft!

The Mirage 5 LR was abnormal having 2 engines but this was not its main special feature...:

(being a VTOL tailsitter with annular wing was more impressive)

Thanks!

And among Lightnings whose pilot is lateral, one had 3 engines (center below):

Similar to Lightnings, Mustangs were mainly twin-boom twin-engine single-seaters:

Some versions had less cooling and more speed (and more beauty according to me [I am not very serious, sorry]):

Other versions had 4 booms or 2 little ones:

Some other Mustangs had a single boom, but of course they had 2 engines:

Of course, many 3-engined Mustangs have also been built, but less than 1,000 copies of each one:
