Unknown to me airplane

[Graeme]

Rather than create a new thread I thought I'd just tack this onto this appropriately named one.

Poor scan from a small book.The caption just mentions he's "demonstrating his two roles as observer/air gunner" but doesn't mention the aircraft concerned.
Any ideas?

Fairey Battle.

Thanks Terry.

Should we be seeing 3 small windows in the fuselage under him?
The opened section has been removed for the photo or hidden behind him?

 

[Airframes]

Open section probably hidden by the Observer. The three windows may depend on the Mark or sub-Mark - not seen on all Battles.

Agree with Terry. In the book "Fairey Battle" by Ian D, Huntley, there are 3 profiles; K9324 has 1 small window, L5446 has 3 small windows, L5415 has no windows

Beats me...

The distance and lighting interfere with the outline but based on them all being German of the same era, maybe the Bv-142??
It does have a large tailwheel.....

I've been looking for that particular ID poster - but no luck.
