This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Hmm I doubt it's a Mosquito, I always thought it had more sharp angles?
Looking at the nose of the aircraft it's not a B-26, it had more glass.

I don't think any of the Brit Bombers had two yokes. I know the Mossie didn't.

Hmmmmm i thinks a B-26. Got in AH to take a look and looks almost just like it, tho the guages are not the same but the way the windows are its almost the same. So B-26 is my vote.

Instruments look british...

Looks a bit too open to be a mossie, and i am not sure a photographer could take a picture from behind like that?

It looks like a Blenheim, but the windows are the wrong shape...

I think it may be a Bristol Beaufort... although the nose doesnt look glazed enough - would fit with the light uniform though.
