Them?

If atomic radiation made them big, atomic radiation can make them small again. Oh wait, wrong movie.

Vultee Vengance, IMO or A-35

Definitely P-36 or Hawk 75. Take a look through the canopy slid back over the fuselage, you can see the triangular window cut out. The detail features also match.

Hawk 75 taxi

Children trying an anti aircraft listening post at RAF Hendon, Empire Air Day, 23 May 1936. I wonder how many of these kids will be fighting before the next nine years are over.

I thought I recognised this picture, this is the light cruiser HMS Leander's Walrus. The photo was taken before the war during a research flight and is located in the South Pacific somewhere. At the time, Leander was part of the New Zealand Division alongside HMS Achilles.

Looks like the port wingtips suffered some damage.

Easily repaired.
