I wonder if they also looked at 2 large turbofans mounted at the rear.
I have no idea about the subject but I always imagined that having two clean wings would reduce fuel burn.
Just a pity these days we cannot have the beautifuly integrated engines inside the wings like the DH Comet. Alas,engines are too big these days.
Seen it so many times. Other passengers have even told me,you can take your seatbelt off now.Is it your first flight?
I say no thats why I keep it on having been on more than 1,000 flights.
If it was safe the pilots would take theirs off.

A big surprise to me that good old traveller’s cheques are still around.
I thought they were finished with.
In the good old day’s Thomas Cook and American Express were the favourites.
These days you just put the debit or credit card in the bankomat and out pops the local currency at lower cost.
1ft of snow here in Krakow and -6 deg end of last week.
But no problems everything moving as normal.
In the UK the frost ploughs would be out.:rolleyes:
Steve,
If you come back to Newcastle or Leeds, you may still fly on Ansett equipment.
Once flew from Sidney to I think it was Hong Kong with Ansett on a 762.
I was in business class and they actually had a chef on board with the full outfit and tall white hat to boot.
Happy times.
