Could a British bomber escape its own atomic attack?

Would a British bomber delivering an atomic weapon in this counterfactual be able to escape the blast?

A specially adapted Lancaster derivative with more powerful engines, a parachute-retarded weapon, or a jet-powered bomber are suggested possibilities.

The follow-up challenges whether a British delivery aircraft could survive its own attack. A specially adapted bomber with four or more engines of roughly 2,000 horsepower is suggested, probably developed from the Lancaster. Another panel contribution proposes retarding the bomb's descent with a parachute to give the aircraft more time to leave. British jet development is then raised as a possible alternative source of a delivery aircraft. These are conditional suggestions within the alternate-war scenario, with no final aircraft design selected.
