Fooled initially - thought it was a Lancaster. Finding nothing, suspicion crept in. Had to be a Lincoln then. (Strangely enough listening to Kinks: Lincoln County!).
So it must be this one: Avro Lincoln with a Napier Nomad test engine.

Absolutely right Lamehawk, your turn 8)
I'd love to know the performance impact of such an engine installation :)

Cheers!

Anyway - new question is this fairly unknown plane:

Douglas XCG-17 ; an assault glider developped from C-47, successful in testing but not really used because such large gliders weren't needed anymore at the last stages of the war.

OK. I don't know if this one has been seen already in this thread but I tink it deserved a chance ;)

Isn't she beautiful ?  8) Hope I didn't break the game with this, but I thought it was time to use our secret power here : great cancelled projects  :P

Strange, I believed we already had this, but a search confirmed that we did not. Possibly I've seen it so many times at the Top 11 Cancelled French Aircraft site...
The rear view is more funny, from the front view you wouldn't expect such an "abrupt" ending
