Sure just google for "747 spare engine". It mounts just inboard of the
#2 engine. I've got photos of the spare engine mount hard points....if
I had an easy place to post them I would.

That is the strangest damn thing I have ever seen. Do these hard points
exist on all 747's, or just a few for special use?

I would suspect all of them. All of the ones I've been close enough
to look at have had them. I suspect more have it than not (maybe some
of the shorthaul domestic Japanese variants don't).

Jim you never seen a 5 th engine carried on a 747 i have mind you i worked
