Thinking Avro Anson or Bristol Beaufighter.

But roundel on Anson was closer to wing tip.

So with the clue of "first flew in 1939" I will go with the Bristol Beaufighter which first flew on July 17, 1939. The Anson flew earlier as a civilian transport prior to the war.
And the BFs roundels were positioned closer inboard on the wings.

Bristol Beaufighter

hmm... looks like coastal command or wireless trainer... but not many planes entered service in 1939 like that... so perhaps a Beaufort or a Defiant?

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.
