Probably going in the wrong direction, being Italian, but a CANT Z.515?

the tail structure is certainly unique and if it's not a LeO H-46, then perhaps a Potez 63...

Took a long time but I figured it out! A French DB-7A (A-20 Havoc) with a twin tail configuration!

CommanderBounds gets it! A Douglas DB-7 modified for the French, never delivered, taken over by the RAF and some sources say converted back! Oh and that's Floyd-Bennett Field by the way!

good one! 
(but I really thought I had it with the Potez 63)

It definitely looks like quite like a Potez just with the picture and I was surprised to find it wasn't. I had heard about that one in the past after reading up on the strangest aircraft of World War 2. I suppose it's kinda strange but this one certainly isn't anything special... Or is it?
Come on Terry! This one is for you! (Isn't it?)

...Blackburn Beverly transport.
Didn't Terry jump out of these? Or am I thinking Agrosy?

The Flying Barn was a bit before my time, although still (only just) in service. It was Argosy, Andover and Hercules I had the pleasure of falling out of.
Good one with the DB7, I would never have got that one !

I can't tell if Geedee or Capt.Vick got it first so you both get that one! I figured it'd be misleading with the small tail but I was wrong, And it also appears it's not as lesser known as I thought...

It was a very large (huge for the time) main transport aircraft with RAF Transport Command, dropping paratroops from both the main fuselage and the large tail boom (the latter looking small in photos), and also dropping heavy loads such as vehicles. That tail unit is bigger than some twin-engined aircraft !

This is a tough crowd...you show more than two rivets or a 2 square inch piece of fuselage, they'll nail it!
I think G-Dog actually got it...

DH Hornet?

I was going to suggest Hornet, or maybe Mosquito. But this is Gary, so that would be far to obvious !!
