I'll guess its a TBM-3 Avenger, but it isn't correct. Maybe that'll get some people thinking about the airframe.

M25 Queens Martinet

 

[Spartacus]

on 26 September 1939 a XXXXX of 803 squadron of HMS Ark Royal piloted by Lt BS McEwen and PO BM Seymour, along with another piloted by Lt CLG Evans and Lt WA Robertson, shot down the first enemy aircraft of the war, a German Do18 which fell in the sea, its crew subsequently being picked up by HMS Somali.

I don't know the plane, but the camera had a FAST ASS lens on it. you can actually see the propellars. Unless they weren't flying that fast.
