Another triple tailed aircraft was the Airspeed Ambassador. It was the type involved in the unfortunate crash that claimed so many lives of the Manchester United football team while trying to take off from Munich on February 6, 1958. The problem was slush on the runway which provided enough resistance to prevent takeoff speed from being achieved.

Yep, Airspeed Ltd. built the airplanes. The primary end user was British European Airways who have their own page of info on it: http://www.baesystems.com/en/heritage/avro-vulcan

So amazing, and they built their own engine for that plane too. Hard to imagine something flying so slow, ten feet per second. Paper airplane speed!
