We are getting outside the definition of the “Wotplane” thread, but it is interesting to try to work out “what plane” this is. I agree with Avion that the undercarriage does not look right. The last Moth Major I saw was a couple of weeks ago.
So, not a Moth Major I think, but what?
PS: oops, this thread has advanced a bit since I started thinking!
Slightly off thread, but relevent to Beverley formations:
While I was in Oxford UAS I had several friends who flew Beverleys. On 8 September 1961 I took part in a flight to the SBAC Exhibition at Farnborough. We set off in several Beverleys from Abingdon (6 ship formation) and landed at Odiham. I was in XB285 with Flt Lt Lamb. There I changed to XB263, captained by Flt Lt Smith. We flew the short distance to Farnborough, where we landed in the middle of a mock battle with bomb bursts and smoke all around us, then took off again back to Abingdon, where we landed after a fly past and break (see the picture of XB285 over the airfield).

Just donated its engine to SP-KZI at Besançon May 2008
