.....And so could the VC10! Also IIRC the VC10 didn't have any performance penalties with a pod fitted.
The 744 it was a customer option to have the hard points and I think all of ours, bar a couple, are so configured.
The 747-100 fitted with Jt9d's could only uplift a JT9d. The -200/300/400 could carry either the RB211 or a JT9d.
