Beaufighter, Firefly and Spitfire

I'm about to make a Beaufighter TFX and Firefly mk1, but neither of the kits contain any interior detail whatsoever, so I'm going to add some. I've found several pictures of the Beau's instrument panel, but what did it look like behind the pilot's seat, and where the gunner/navigator sat? Also after some pictures of the wheelwells, same thing with the Firefly really. I'm not making it photo realistic super detailed, just a few basic additions, so they don't need to be great quality photos.

Also one other silly question, on a mkIX Spit's tail wheel, did the whole thing pivot or was it just the wheel at the bottom?


Any help appreciated!
