<quote>Dear Boys and Girls, to add to the confusion about the L-1011-8, here are 2 images of Lockheed origin showing a different and longer fuselage stretch of 160" to the original L-1011-1 fuselage......</quote>
Years late to this discussion, but I'm thinking that Terry's last drawings shows the original -8 design, not the later -8.4 proposal.
From Flight International, 1969 (https://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1969/1969%20-%200833.html):
<quote>"Lockheed's latest proposals for a long-range version of the L-1011 TriStar are based on an enlarged airframe with some 20 per cent more wing area, a fuselage 13ft 6in longer (maximum seating capacity up from 345 to 390) and gross weight up from 409,0001b to 545,0001b, giving a capacity-payload range of 5,000 miles.... All the stretched versions are at present known as the L-1011-8, but there are numerous specification variables — including the vital question of choice of engine—at this stage."</quote>
That dovetails almost perfectly with the 3-views posted.
Shortly thereafter, it was dubbed the L-1011 Intercontinental (http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1969/1969%20-%203237.html), and "all 'dash' designations have now been dropped," so said Flight.
There's another proposal I'm trying to find out about, though. It's the L-1011-3. As best I can understand, it's described as a stretch of the L-1011-2 (later dubbed the L-1011-200 in service), using more powerful Rolls-Royce RB211 engines. I can't find any details about the stretch through Google searches, though, except in foreign-language Wikipedia articles, which mention a stretch of 20-40 feet, which is a bit vague. Has anyone ever heard of it?
