Any engine problem could be overcome with a touch of the deadsticks. Since the RAF don't seem to be interested, the safest alternative would seem to be launching a 4-engine machine and minimising the possibility of an all-engine-out by having all engines at differing power settings (one at idle) and trying some suck & see.

Already suggested two days ago, which is why Weee Willy is flying now. You're way behind the drag curve with this one.
