acording to a book i have in the loft there was also a six engined lanc B2, four bristol hercules on the wings, a dart or mamba in the nose (can’t remember which) and a jet engine (viper?) in the tail with a dorsal intake.
hope this is usefull, if you want more info on this or any of the other testbeds give me a shout here i will dig out the book.

There are a few to choose from. ND784 had an Armstrong Siddeley Mamba mounted in the nose in 1947. NG465 had a RR Dart in the nose from 1947 through to 1954. SW342 also had a Mamba in the nose in 1952.

Naiad Lincoln

Here (if it works!) is a picture of the Naiad Lincoln

I think there were several different Lincoln (perhaps Lancaster too?) engine test beds with 5 engines, one example was Lincoln RF530 with a Napier Naiad in the nose, displayed at the 1948 SBAC Show.
