When I flew 747Cs, my performance manuals had all the spare engine ferry figures.

Also, the VC10 could carry a spare engine, but it was enclosed in an aerodynamic pod and I gather there wasn't much of a drag penalty. BOAC had RR Conways on both their 707s and VC10s and the VC10 was the aircraft that transported engines around if needed down route.
