It’s a RAF Costal Command Liberator coming in from a 12 hour , 2,000 mile patrol, making a landfall over the English countryside.
It features the British 4 -gun turrent in the tail.
Photograph of the British export version. The RAF originally called this aircraft the “Caribou” taking the name from it’s long nose.
Unlike most designs, the aircraft was designed around it’s cannon (rather than starting with an airplane and then arming it- Similar to how the modern A-10 was designed)
This British version is armed with a 20mm Hispano gun in the hub, 2 .50-cal machine guns that fire thru the propeller and 4 .303 Brownings firing outside the propeller arc.
