    I see no engine nacelles so maybe a glider?

    Hmm, very little to go on here as we can see hardly any of the the aircrafts features. I think it is too big for a glider and with only the covered canopy and part of the nose visible I am looking at the with of the canopy and the plexiglass in the nose.

    Could this be one of the DH Mosquito variants?

    Any info concerning the photo would possibly help.

    Regards

    Where are the engines ( which are as high as the fuselage?)
    There are men standing right where they should be where they would be partly visible at shoulder height.
    Maybe its just part of the airframe?

    They're clearly standing well in front of the engines and props. Compare where the guys are leaning on the fuselage in front of the cockpit against the photo's in my post, it's a good 2-3 feet. There's nothing suspicious here Dan.

    Well spotted

    It was one of those "I'm sure I've seen that before but beggared if I can place it"

    So the pic must be from a training unit maybe an OCU?
