Airplane ID?


Can anybody identify the twin-engine airplanes that appeared in this film at the airbase? I believe they were of British make.

Looked like a de Haviland Mosquito.

Absolutely not Mosquitos. It is a derivative of the Bristol Blenheim. Since this was filmed in Canada, it is most likely this aircraft:

By the way, the single-engine fighters are American P-40s, which actually were used by the British. The light-blue twin-engine aircraft in some shots behind the main aircraft are Hudsons, American-built but extensively used by the British as well.
