We were so plane crazy we used to watch war movies about The Battle of Britain and compete to shout out the names of the planes when they wooshed by the camera. I remember the Mk.22 (this one), and the MK. 21 (with counterrotating double props), could be identified very quickly by the huge spinner. Since they didn't get on camera very much I always got that one. Of course, they don't put airplanes in the credits, so it was pretty much consensus identification every time... among 12 year olds.
