Is that a 4 jet taildragger behind the 4 prop nosewheel airliner? The wing pods look to have 2 jet intakes each.

Not forgetting that one of the Ashtons, for a time, had no less than 6 engines, as seen in the film 'Cone of Silence'

This photo I presume:


It's a Tudor 8 not an Ashton which had a tricycle undercarriage.
There's an Ambassador between the Hermes and the Tudor.
