They look like a Rufe, a Mosquito, and a Halifax, but that photo is so darn small. With my 8x loop all I can see are pixels!

Well, with that top turret, mid-wing with squared tips, angled verticals etc., it really looks to be Series I or early IA Halifax, but could it be listed for ID training purposes as a Handley Page Halton I?
Any chance on that?
