Low-cost (or mid-Asia) option -- buy some Bear engines?

747, two full length passenger decks, no overwing emergency exit? Hmm, :hmm: funny-looking 747 even without the other two engines. :hmm:

Will that be a swim-thru fuel tank, then, or a swimming pool?

They've obviously seen the modified one at Dunsfold; ok it's still got 4 engines but only 2 pods.
