Yeap, everyone, Lancaster

Conaissez vous: The Libertor's a very fine ship
constructed of rivets and tin,
with a speed of over 200,
the plane with a headwind built in.
Why did I join the Air Force?
Mother, dear Mother, knew best;
Here I lie 'neath the wreckage
Liberator all over my chest.

Yep, definitely a Lancaster. And you should be ashamed of yourself, it's one of the most iconic and recognisable aircraft of all time!

I think it's a Mk.X.

I believe this is a Lancaster. B24 had radial engines and was not a tail dragger.

It has RR Merlins...Roy Chadwick would like this.....
