Help in i.d.ing an aircraft please.

Yes Brigands in first picture ...lucky to have seen a couple back in the 50s (RH798 andRH747)

Ahh, sorry about that, I did not appreciate the need for such details. The second snip is also from a BfA photo number EAW009944.

Brigand were fairly rare, only 147 built and only a fuselage section surviving in store at RAFM Cosford

Last one, a T5, was wfu in 1958.

Hi All, back again with another old photo query. Britain From Above SAW022919. Showing the Clyde with a Light Fleet Carrier visible in dock with a deck full of (Seafires?) and three of another type without wings on the dockside. Please correct me if I am wrong with my I.D. of Seafires but can anyone help out with the others? Thanks in advance. The photo is dated 1949.

The way the aircraft were packed on there looks to me as if they are about to be dumped at sea.(sob)

The radials could be Sea Furies. Not sure what the long cockpit one is as Avengers were long gone by then and it is too early for a Skyraider.

That was my thinking too, which is why I came to the experts It is a bit of a puzzle given the date of the photo and what I can see. Go to the website to view as it seems to enlarge better than my copy.
