"I caught my wife cheating on me so I went and stole the Captain's pistol. Nice isn't it? Too bad I only loaded it with two rounds. One for the guy, one for the dame. Then its on a plane to Cairo, I hear they have nice women down there. Want to come with me?"

I'm with Pongo.

B24.. with RAF Roundels, it would imply the lend-lease version which, I think, just used 'Liberator' as title.  

Since there's no waist gunner position, perhaps it is the C-87.. cargo version.. which was also 'sold' as lend-lease.

Its a B24 (or some version thereof).  Strut has gear cover on the side, b25 gear moved back and forth with gear doors  on engine nacells.

Fellow with the pistol?   New way to adjust the tire pressure?

My first guess was a B-25 due to the distance from the landing gear to the tail. But after looking at the gear assembly it's more likely a B-24....Still the distance from the gear to the tail looks awfully short...

My first reaction discounted b24 for same reason -- but I think it'a optical illusion. Check out the gear on the confirmed B24 I posted above, adn see that it's identical. The only question is what version -- and as clues we have the brit by the gear, the tropical background, and the lack of windows and side door.
