Identification needed please

Being new to commercial aeoroplane photographing I don't yet know the
differences between types of aircraft (but am able to distinguish between
737/747/757). Is there a website that anyone can point me to that offers
photos of all the commercial aircraft that are used in the world.
I saw an aircraft in the sky about 5 minutes after take off from LBA this
afternoon and it had no engines on the wings but two attached either side of
the tail. I looked in the small number of photos that I have from this group
and only a TU-154 was anything like but it surely couldn't be this - any
ideas please?
Many thanks

Could have been several, Boeing 727, Fokker F100, Canadair Regional Jet, or
any number of business jets. A pic would help, or at least a better
description (colors, names, numbers, ect.) Try browsing

Probably an RAF VC -10.

Two engines to either side of the fuselage back by the tail.

I would go to Airliners.net. There, you can look at photos of every airliner
flying. You can search by type, or look at random pictures. Each has a
caption describing what you are looking at.

There are a number of airplanes with 2 engines on the rear of the fuselage.
That design concept fas been flying since the late 50s.

Many thanks for all your help and suggestions. The plane in question was
quite high up and no markings were visible. I would think that it was an
MD-80 as the body was very long (like a 757) so unlikely to be a F100.
Operators at LBA don't use this aircraft on scheduled services but it may
have been a holiday charter flight.
Thanks again

Apologies, I meant MD-90.

Tupolev Tu-154 - Is a Russian airliner - looks similar to a 727!

MD-80 works too. As well as the DC-9-80. MD-82, MD-88, 717.. They are all
based on the same airframe, with little differences here and there.

Serves me right for getting into this discussion. The man said TWO
engines on EITHER side of the fuselage. My mathematics says this
gives a total of FOUR engines. Sorry for my confusion. What is the
total number of engines (excepting the APU) powering this aircraft?
