I've seen that before, what an amazing model and the guy flying it seemed very confident of flying it low to the ground.

That is MWM Warbirds they have a place at Rochester airport just down the road from me.

Forgive my ignorance, but would there be a reason he chose those propellors instead of the more accurate four ?

Three bladers on a lanc surely? But basically will be a prop that matches the engine output & has enough blade area outside the cowl. Looking at it flying it is well over powered so could possibly get away with bigger 3 bladers

Yes, three blades on the propeller on a Lancaster.
