The Sud Aviation SE210 Caravelle....
From memory, she had the nose section of the ill fated comet, although that may be incorrect, and note the windows in the fuselage, highly unusual, but avoided the stress inducing corners on the comet........fascinating aircraft, and the first passenger jet with the engines tail mounted iirc...and confounded experts who said the pure jet was totally uneconomic for anything other than long-haul flights.
