Is the furthest spitfire one of the late bomber conversion ones? Looks like something hanging underneath.

Furthest plane is not a Spit. Looks like it might be a Curtiss P-40? With a centerline drop fuel tank.
Mosquito, Spitfire (don't remember too many 2-seaters), Mustang, [Kitty/War]Hawk. I think.

Well you can discount the Mustang as I believe that was built to licence by Packard. Am I right?

Vulcans are always stunning, no matter how they're photographed. But this beeb one is great, I'll agree.

at last someone sadder! 
they all had a version with rolls Royce merlin, even the p40 , but as you correctly point out the p51 mustang and p40 tomahawk's Rolls Royce's Merlin's were built under licence by Packard. but that is picky!
we need to get out more!

They were injected weren't they. Arguably a better machine than the Spit.......

Fantastic news that a mosquito is back in the sky. IMHO, one of the most beautifully proportioned planes ever designed.
