Your on the right track

Is it a Stanley?

[PatHeald]

Looks like a Sea Fury.

But it is probably a Tempest.

[alfaman]

P47 Thunderbolt with bubble canopy ?

.... or could be a Typhoon at 2nd glance .. wings look a bit skinny for a P47

Mk IIs with the Bristol Centaurus engine (and a direct ancestor of the Sea Fury). Most Tempests had Napier liquid cooled engines.
