Do you know what the last one is? It's a tad unusual.

Unless it's a French built example, it should be a FW-190 variant?

Haven't seen one of those yet! I've seen pics of a Bf-109T, but not of a Fw-190T.

Point of information - the 109T was the carrier variant of the 109E (strengthened u/c, tailhook etc.) which ended up being used in Norway.

I don't think there was a carrier version of the FW190..

The "Bf109T" is the G-12, although there were also later Czech and Spanish 2 seat variants...

As for the 190, there appear to have been several 2 seat variants. I can't remeber the history behind how this one ended up in the UK...

PS: Is that Fozzer I spy hanging on near the left wingtip of the Tempest...

Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs. I never knew that.

According to the RAF Museum website this one's a Fw190A-8/U-1. Here's what they say about it.

Although the company manufactured a prototype two-seat Fw190 to help with the conversion of pilots from slower ground attack units, all the other two-seaters, like this one, were produced by modifying existing aircraft.

The canopy looks very basic, like it was cobbled up from a couple of Bf 109 canopies.
