I believe the first two crew civil airliner with more than two engines would have been the MD11, closely followed by the 747-400.
Oh dear, what a cockup. A real victim of too quick cut-and-paste combined with Getawayitis from the office (note a posting time of 1752 on Friday evening !). I suddenly realised the error driving up the M4 Heathrow spur about 30 minutes later. Now I believe the first more than two engined jet with two crew was the BAe146, which does marginally fit the topic as it followed the Trident some years later down the assembly hall at Hatfield. Any parts of the Trident contributed to the 146 ? I believe its main gear design owes a lot to the Comet.
