Early production Lincoln B.1 which served as a development aircraft. Others visible at RAF Ringways 15.09.45 open day are a Lancaster, the Tudor prototype and a BOAC Lancastrian. On RE234 note what looks like 3 and 4-blade props. Early B1s were built with 3-blade, but were found to induce high vibration levels and 4-blade props became standard fitment.
