I'm thinking more specifically here,such as 'classic' planes that have been partly re-engined.

a reply to: Imagewerx

A few more I can think of

Breguet Vultur

Saro SR.53

Boeing XF15 (1940's)

Avro Shackleton MR.3

Avro Lancastrian

I was thinking specifically about the KC-97L with the extra turbojet engines,but they will do as well......

Without googling, who knows what the Miles Gillette Falcon was?

a reply to: waynos

No takers?

It was a regular Miles Falcon (think pre-war Piper Cherokee) converted to flight test the low speed handling qualities of the wings and tail of the Miles M.52 supersonic aircraft then in development. The name deriving from the "razor sharp" thin surfaces that were like nothing seen before.

What is this?

Why was the #1 engine strut different on the KC-135E?

a reply to: Zaphod58

To have the ability to carry a spare engine.

a reply to: JIMC5499

Nope. It's also the reason they used to start the other engines first.
