Mk XVI TE476, one of Historic FLying Ltds ex gate guards (although I'm not sure if they restored it - it may have been PPS at Booker who did Kermit's other Spit and are doing his Tempest V)

The others are the only airworthy B-26 Marauder and a Bucker Bestmann... :)

Whoops big mistake there, sorry I was talking P-38s on the other screen and my brain got a bit crossed in the wires dept. I'll go get another cup of tea right now to revive the poor thing!

That first one is definately a Willys Jeep. The third I believe is an Me-108, possibly the one that appeared in The Great Escape?
