Is that a Shackleton?

Nope, not a Shackleton. (I thought it was as well when I first came across it)  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Lets see .... ummm ... Lancaster  airframe .. perhaps increased span .... looks to have belly turret and radials perhaps. Wasn't there a post war protoype derivative called the Sheffield or some other town ??

Hey sparks,

Very, very warm,    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

But not a Sheffield.

Wmaker has it correct <S>

Although It was more than a Test Bed.

2 * 50's in front & rear turrets & 2 * 20mm cannon in upper turret. (Bet that made the guys teeth rattle)  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

1 and a half hours this time I must be getting better   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Here's another picture of it.

<S> Snafu

...I noticed that turret  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Just noticed too that the engine mountings didn't look like in normally in Lincoln...and the fact that many Lincolns and Lancasters were used as engine testbeds for turbo props like Rolls Royce Python for example and for jet engines too...

DAMN, though one, but I'll have to go with a captured version of a Heinkel bomber..
