I’d certainly agree about the Warwick, given its size, number of engines and the equal taper on the wings. My first thought was also Whitley for the ‘Dornieresque’ plane at the top, biut after a bit of digging I wonder if it would be one of the Handley Page Harrows that Flight Refuelling used at one point? The wing planform is similar to the Whitley and the twin fins are in a similar position to the Whitley. The Harrow had a much longer nose, of course, but if you look at the photograph long enough you can almost convince yourself that there is a long nose there.
