The eyewitness thought the aircraft was a He 177 (!!).

As a single a/c flying over the Isle of Wight, I would tend to go for something like a Ju 86P/R rather than an He 177.

Here is a general view of the photo pod of the Me 410. It looks like it would be very difficult to fit a person in the rear part of that pod because the area with the numbers 1 and 3 holds the two cameras, and the area behind the cameras is directly beneath the W/T observer. Possibly, by taking out the ammo cans -- the area shown here as the covered portion between the 2 cockpits -- and moving back the W/T operator a few inches, an observer could be moved into the area thus freed.

Does anyone have any other ideas?
