obviously a hercules engined Lancaster , but looks to have a symetrical ' stunt ' wing .

I doubt any Lancaster ever had a symmetrical airfoil. The only one I have ever seen listed is the naca 23018  root, 23012 tip.

Indeed ,P.J. . A bit of ' anti ' here , as it wasnt a Nobler ( mod ) , or is it ?  S?P

Was a few In overspan for FAI , now .

BUT a HALIFAX has near identical planform to the LANCASTER ,

As he inadvertantly based it on the worst semi scale pommy R.C. Lancaster ,
It'd be a piece or proverbial to chop the tips square , and carve a few bits for the front .
The spinners are even the HALIFAX shape .

The Lancaster ( should have ) a low Tailplane , The Halifax has a High Tailplane .

The Late halifaxes were pretty good , Roomier & lower loss rate than Lancs .
