Have we a date on this? the first Lightnings were delivered to the RAF late 1960, so the film must be around that time, the last in service Lanc was RF325, a MR 3 from St Mawgan, last flight Oct 15 1956, the Lincolns were in service up to c1963 I think.
The wings look definatly Avro, and the fuse is too slim for a Hastings, I would go for a Lincoln, second guess Shack.
First saw the aircraft in early 60s at airshows, later worked on them for a while,( 73-78) designed and built in less than ideal conditions, its a shame that we can't build such classic aeroplanes today, really was something special.
Best regards,
