Shown last night programme about the ATA pilots, think it was called:
"Winging It, The Home Front Pilots".

Approx half way through they showed an aircraft - looking very Barracuda like with contra rotating props starting up then it airborne but it had a long canopy system (un-Barracuda like ?).

Am sure this query has been raised here before but frustrating as couldn't identify, any one out there help to identify please.

Fairey Battle FTB for the P24 Monarch engine.

Discussed here:
