If it's really Halesworth, I'll guess D21s.  Seems they were the first that the 56th got with all-metal finishes, but the timing is right on the line between Halesworth and Boxted.

the P-47s

“Bonnie” a P-47D of the 62nd Fighter Squadron. This aircraft has been attributed to the 61st FS but the yellow rudder of the 62nd is clearly visible in this shot. Pilot currently unidentified and information also wanted in respect of serial # and code letter.

Interesting seeing the B-25 loaded with external bombs.  Perhaps it was carrying fuel tanks in the bomb bay for preparation for a long range mission.  Also noteworthy is how the hot ash burned off the fabric on the elevators, but did not pop the tires.  Did the tail gunners canopy melt?
