MP40, with his left hand in front of the magazine housing, and the sling showing above the barrel. Aircraft is a Hamilcar glider.
 
Yep, the Hamilcar was a fair size, at 68 feet long, and a wingspan of 110 feet. It was designed to carry the Locust and Tetrarch light tanks, as well as vehicles and the 17 pdr AT gun.
Used during the Normandy landings, and at Arnhem, and the Rhine crossing. The one in the pic is almost certainly in Normandy, judging by the full 'invasion' stripes.
Pic below shows a Locust light tank being unloaded from a Hamilcar.
