Fabulous! Got any more? I'm especially intrigued by the Corsair
without
clipped wings!

Great mix! 2 Seafires, a Corsair, 1 Martlet, 2 Barracudas and a nose I
can't identify. Very nice pic.

As a fan of the FAA, thank you!

Having blown the picture up and used a fair amount of imagination, I think
the unidentified nose sticking out of the hanger to the left is second Sea
Hurricane, and behind it a whole bunch of mechanics are swarming over a
third. Is the second Seafire the one behind the two Barracudas?


Isn't the one at the end, facing us (yellow spinner) a Seafire? With
such a narrow track landing gear...


Thick wing + dihedral starting from centre-section not wing root =
Hurricane.
