What type of aircraft?

Hi guys

Just reading a report by a Malta-based reconnaissance pilot operating off Tripoli at night in mid 1941:

"While patrolling, an illuminated aircraft attacked. Avoided in clouds. On emerging a further aircraft closed to attack with a powerful headlight, and chased us to within 20 miles of Cape Passero ..."

What do you think these two aircraft (or the same one) where?

No prizes for your answers!! But any suggestions will be most helpful.

Cheers
Brian
