What about the good old VC10? It was and remains a pretty slippery ship. It her airliner days cruise I seem to recall was faster than a B707 at about 0.88M.

I never had the delight to fly one but have been pax in both civil and ASCOT ac. They were also very quiet as the rear engines left all the noise behind!!
