Resp:
From the position of the wheel well covers, the Merlin was recently run up. Whether for maintenance ck or return from a mission.

Resp:
Nice! But the real question . . . what type of aircraft was the photo taken from. A Wellington?

Photo looks to be one from the original photo shoot by Air Ministry photographers of the then recently arrived N.A. Mustang Mk.Is with No.II(AC) Squadron in mid-1942. In that instance the aircraft used for the air to air photo sequences was a Bristol Beaufort. Others in same sequence in IWM online collection include CH.17411, CH.7064, CH.17401, CH.17407, amongst just a few. Photos from that early photo session with No.II(AC) Squadron RAF turn up regularly, especially as they were used quite widely during the War for PR and press purposes.
