ANd the asymmetric version of the EF-112 may have been coded EF-141:

Of course, the 6-engined Twin-Hurricane needed more solidity, thus had linked tailplanes:

Nice mailplane scheme on the TallEng version too! Now, who is going to build Tophe's 6-engined Twin-Hurricane?  >:D

Nice  :)
With props at front of each fuselage you have the 8 engine Twin-Hurricane. In this case a second person is needed as flight engineer to monitor those 8 engines.

That's an air racer all right!  Only problem would be taking off without running out of gas  ;D

With just the 2 engines in the nose, the range is better but there is less fun :(
