ww2 airplane - type ID please?

(1/2) > >>

Litvyak:
So a friend of mine just sent me a photo taken at Vancouver airport in 1944, it's a splendid high res image, but (as usual) something in the background caught my eye. I've cropped the photo to focus in the portion of interest, as the full-size file (which shows the entirety of the CPAL airplane in the foreground) is huge.

Can anyone ID what that is? It looks like it's got radials and a turret? Overall light colour - yellow, perhaps? Or white?

GTX_Admin:
My guess is a RCAF Bristol Blenheim or Bristol Bolingbroke

I'd agree with that. The landing gear design is distinctively Blenheim/Bolingbroke.

tc2324:
I would say it was a Bristol Bolingbroke, (Canadian built), and the white scheme would indicate a Coastal Command machine.

GTX_Admin:
Ah yes...but what time of the day was the photo taken...and what did the crew have for breakfast that day? ;)
