It’s a Merlin powered Beaufighter, so a Mk2F Quite rare around 500 of all merlin types produced. IIRC They had a high attrition rate and I think underpowered compared to the Bristol engine versions, which may have led to the loss rate.
If you know the units your father worked on it may be possible to identify the specific variant
