Thanks Wayne and Mel. I eventually did find that page...

Aircraft Identification V - Page 166 - Aircraft of World War II - Warbird Forums

In true AviaQuiz style...(unfortunately I can't 'expand' the photo.)...

Sorry Mel, not the Whitley. This aircraft is smaller dimensionally but heavier.

Unfortunately mate I'm just heading off to work for an afternoon shift where I have no internet access. They don't trust us! Back around 2130 hrs my time, about 1000 hrs your time?

Get some sleep mate!

Smaller than the Whitley but heavier? Bloody hell, I didn't know there was such a beast.

My confident guess now feels like a stab in the dark......HP Hampden?

Hi Wayne!

Well...that's what I've read. I've got a MTOW for the Whitley at 28,000 lb compared to 39,000 lb for the beast above. You could re-check the beast's weight for me by looking in your Putnam book dedicated to Bristol.

Good afternoon/bonjour/g'day gentlemen.

My first time on line today.
These "partial" images seem to be getting popular.
