HS Trident all-flying tailplane
An interesting variation on a theme is that the HS Trident, unlike its 727 look-alike, used the whole tailplane for pitch control I have seen pics of it fully deployed at rotation. Ditto for the VC-10 .

So in this sense tailplane use was similar to that of the TriStar.
