Good to see you 'have a crack' of it, 'W4783' .......... the more the merrier l say.
Could it be a Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle variant type ........... V1599, GT Mk I, prototype glider-tug ........or alike? ( From our very own site.)

British designed, British built and British flown
Not an Albemarle or a Halifax
This avian is of the Cockney variety (might be lost on our Antipodean friends)

Alan
you are of course correct although in fact it is the Sparrow that's the answer. In its own way a rather elegant aircraft IMHO

Well done to you, Alan.
It's my New Years resolution to get one right this year so I'm not in panic mode just yet.
