I have come across some information on the proposed VC.4 three-engined transatlantic airliner project of 1949.
Information on the VC.4 was used to demonstrate aerodynamic drag issues in a Royal Aeronautical Society lecture by E. J. Edwards on 24 November 1949 entitled A Review of Aerodynamic Cleanness.
The diagram of the cockpit layouts is interesting, the bottom one is labelled "VC.4 Type" is very similar to that of the Valiant, which by then had been ordered in prototype form.
The booklet can be found at Kew - DSIR 23/18599 (although getting hold of DSIR files is not as easy as it used to be now they are stored offsite).
