It's pity there's not more of the plane showing, because it's bugging me
what it is.

I *think* it's an Armstrong-Whitworth Albemarle, possibly of 295
Squadron. The problem with that is that 295 had the squadron code 8Z,
so if this is a 295 Squadron Albemarle, I'd expect it to carry the code
8Z-? or ?-8Z, not 8-Z? as shown here.

A little research shows that the Albemarle V1740 8Z-A of 295 Squadron
led the British parachute assault on D-Day, with the commander of 38
Group as co-pilot - so that aircraft would be particularly worthy of
photographing at the time.
