Hi Karlark, Its a twin engined bomber. I've seen it given three names (well, letter number designations) , so any one of them will do. Good luck!

Spot on. Yermoleyev Yer-2, also known as the DB-240
My apologies for the long delay in responding, Mrs Mechta's granddaughter spilt something wet, red and sticky on the laptop & killed the keyboard!

Top left of image appears to be a blast tube for a gun? right of image seems to be a stream wise fairing. Confused by what looks like a tear in the material centre of the pic. Pic should be turned 90°? Something along the lines of a Gloster Gladiator?

Top left: nope, not a gun.
Right: a fairing it is indeed.
Centre: The "tear" is rust.
Rotating 90° won't help (I guess).
It's not a Gloster. This one is newer and faster than the Gladiator.

Yes, that's it. Mirage IV-A N°29 "BB" preserved @ Avord AB.
Its belly, more precisely. Photo taken from under, at dawn (hence the weird look, and the morning dew)
The "top left thing" is the rear of the bomb vault (you can see this vault on this picture)
The fairing hosts the internal elevon mechanism.
Your control, Lightning Mate.
