Late-1956. No intention whatsoever of buying. Used by BOAC merely to beat down 707-420 price.

The drawing hesham added reminds me of some of the variants of the L193 Constellation II, or perhaps the tanker Lockheed was also designing. Of course, this plane with a 1962 in service date would probably have found few buyers...

Was quite a common layout then, I think, the SO.5100 wasn't much different:
