I think LM has probably got it with the Welkin, specifically a special equipped with RM16SM Merlins fitted with "Beard Radiators"
It looks rather like Graeme's photo on the bottom left of this preview:

Afternoon one11,

It is the Lancaster MkII (LL735) being used to test the Metropolitan-Vickers F2/4 "Beryl" engine.

You have it
It is the Lancaster MkII (LL735) being used to test the Metropolitan-Vickers F2/4 "Beryl" engine.
Development of the F.2 continued on a version using a ten-stage compressor for additional airflow. The new F.2/4 - the Beryl - initially developed 3,250 lbf (14.45 kN) and was test flown in Avro Lancaster Mk.II s/n LL735 before being installed in the Saunders-Roe SR.A/1 flying boat fighter. Thrust had already improved to 3,850 lbf (17.1 kN) for the third prototype, and eventually settled at 4,000 lbf (17.8 kN). In comparison, the Derwent developed 10.9 kN in its ultimate form; making the Beryl one of the most powerful engines of the era. Development of the SR.A/1 ended in 1947, ending development of the Beryl along with it. Nevertheless a Beryl from the SR.A/1 prototype was removed and used by Donald Campbell in his famous 1955 Bluebird K7 hydroplane in which he set seven water speed records between 1955 and 1964.
300 Lancaster IIs were built with 1,650 hp Bristol Hercules VI radial engines

Evening one11, you're welcome for the welcome 
Hmm; interesting photograph ,
I can't find the photo based on what I think it is; so that probably means it isn't !!
Based on the forward line of the props to where the cockpit appears to be and the distance between the engines, it's not a Beaufighter 'coz they're not Hercules, they look like they may be Perseus, so is it the Cunliffe-Owen O.A.1 Aka "Flying-wing" ??
