Recce bird, I would suspect.

Recon?

Two military cultures divided by a common language: "recce" for REConaissanCE
(pronounced to rhyme with "breckie") has been the short form used in Britain,
Canada and most other Commonwealth forces since early in the Great War, and
perhaps even earlier.

I noticed later, that some views of that plane have a port on the bottom
(looking aft, I suspect) a small glass port on the side, also, so I suspect
that reconnaissance would be a good guess.
