Three engined aircraft

[Dr Jekyll]

An aviation trivia question that came up today.

What 3 engined aircraft have the RAF operated?

My guess is the odd JU52 and maybe some strange 1920s contraptions. But I've a feeling I'm missing something obvious.

Tristar?

Merlin (AW101) - although as I understand it they'll all be passed over to the Navy in the not too distant future.

Shorts flying boats were 3 engined and operated by the RAF.
