Avro Lincoln engine test bed. Two outboard RR Merlins have been replaced, probably with Bristol Proteus gas turbine turbo props.

I thought this was a Halifax, rather than a Lancaster?

I would definitely go Lancaster - the tail section is, I think, the giveaway; the tail fins and positioning on the fuselage are the wrong shape for a Halifax.

I missed both of these when I looked at this image. I've added the T23, the T22 is S0013393. Any thoughts on the other buried structures close to the T23?
