With contra-rotating props, isn't it more likely to have been a

Well I'm sure no expert but even I thought it a little odd that they
mentioned a Lancaster and then showed what definitely looked like
a Lanc pod with the contra rotating props. 8 blades - no waiting.

I thought maybe the engine came off a Lanc from the fifties or sixties.

When I looked at the unit I wondered who would have had
the forethough to actually save a get up like that for future use.

And of course I kinda wondered what happened to the rest of the plane.

Anybody have any direct info on this set up.

I couldn't even tell you what country this test took place in.
