Agree with Blenheim. I think that I can make out the blisters on one of the engine cowls.

I’m leaning towards a Hampden – closeness of nacelles and the (might be deceptive) width of the wing in that perspective.

Spars are way too flimsy for a four-engined bomber so it must be a twin with the fuselage burned-away; a Hampden is a much larger machine than a Blenheim too.

Unknown

Not much room between both engines for it to be a twin?Hampden then?or port wing of a heavy?

This is the area around the engine-oil tank on a Blenheim.

Blenheim (I think).
