I remember as a boy watching an episode of Thunderbirds involving a futuristic airliner called Fireflash, in which a saboteur linked a bomb to the retraction of the landing gear, meaning a wheels-up landing on Virgil Tracey’s elevator cars. The Fireflash had its flight deck in the tail fin and its engines (I think there were six) mounted atop the t-tail.
Now, what about that as an idea?

I like this a lot!
I’ve just had a look on a couple of websites at pictures of this aircraft and think it would look great in RAF grey with the RAF roundels! 😀
