I assume the front 3 are TFC's Hellcat, Miss Velma and Wildcat,

followed by the TFC Corsair, then Christophe Jacquard's Corsair...

...flanked by the TFC Curtiss Hawk 75 (6), and the Kennet Skyraider as mentioned...

Other than that, the only other noticably un-noticed so far is number 13, which I believe is the Buchon... :) One of the Spits may well be a Sea too...

I did think about the Buchon, but at that distance, it's barely distinguishable from the Spitfires surrounding it (not helped by the fact most of the Spits are of different marks).

It is noticeably smaller though... :)

The P-51Ds...

8 is SHF's Old Crow and 10 is OFMCs Ferocious Frankie...

9 & 11 are Twilight Tear and BBD (impossible to tell which is which as they are virtually the same scheme!)

The other question of course is which registration, civil, or former military.... ;)

Here's a poser though:

The Grumman Wildcat - G-RUMW
The FG1D Corsair - G-FGID
The Mk V Spit - G-LFVB
The Bearcat - G-RUMM
So why is the Hellcat - G-BTCC ;) ;D

(The Tigercat was G-RUMT IIRC...)

A combination of knowing what you're looking at, deduction, and above all, blatant cheating... ;)
