(repro) S1287 By OS
2&3 ) Supermarine
Seafire S17 SX137 by OC
Obviously Spitfire variant, but not
a lot to go
on. You can just make out the small late type fuel gauge, but the giveaway
is the cylinder priming pump bottom right, making it a Griffon powered type.

3. The airframe presumably of the above cockpit. A Griffon powered
Seafire with a four blade prop must be F.15 or F.17, and the bubble canopy
as above makes it F.17 (Mk XV11)
