The group of three are a bit far away to be easily identified but the single aircraft closer up is unmistakably a Westland Lysander. The Lysander wing shape is quite distinctive and the aircraft itself rather unique and hard to categorise. They were used in a number of roles including clandestine operations into occupied Europe. Here it is shown in an army co-operation role for which it was originally designed. Bombs could be carried on racks attached to the outboard side of each of the fixed main landing gears. The images are not clear enough to make out the presence of bombs or racks.
