Images 2,6 and 7 could be part of the u/c framework of a Bristol Beaufighter.

Maybe these images might help

One shows the position of the fuel cover.

Hello Gianandrea, please check the plane parts looking for numbers, if the numbers string start with "300" (example: 320......) it is a Spitfire.

Can you post some pics of the numbers and HT treatment stamps on your parts? thanks, i'll try to indentify it, the parts looks like coming from differents planes (and crashes...) let me know, thanks

Ciao Michele,
thank you for your interest. I've not got any picture with numbers. In the event I'll get them, I'll post them in this forum.
