Name that plane!
Well this is a first Jackoniko, for I find myself agreeing with you! My money would be on a Lincoln. I can't see a single fin, it looks like a high wing to me, with the classic overwing exhaust stains. It sure doesn't resemble a Hastings. I used to fly them, does that count? Whatever it was the comparison between it and the Lightning gives some idea of the leap in technology that the latter displayed!
