First photo is a Fairey Firefly.
Check the nose configuration, the exhaust pipes, landing gear and the black round circular "intake" or what-ever-it-is. You will not find that on any Hawker aircraft. Aircraft also looks very much a single-seater.
Thanks Alex
I thought it looked a bit familliar. Chris Thornburg did a couple of items in the now gone Small Air Forces Observer, but it is ages ago since I heard from him.
In this case he is mistaken though
