Country:  | No. 2 looks like a Hercules, for the others - no idea yet. What's in it for the winner, Graeme? Some australian beer perhaps?  | |

Country:  | 1 looks to me like the Curtis X-19. When I was a youngster, we often drove past Curtis-Wright's hangars at Caldwell-Wright field. I remember, one evening, seeing the X-19 and its smaller brother in the hangar.
Of the rest, the last looks like Hansa's reverse-sweep jet to me and 3 to be a Miles (Messenger?).

CLUES…
Number 1. A British research jet investigating the Concorde wing configuration. (AviaQuiz)
Number 2. French STOL transport.
Number 3. French light plane. Prop at front and tail. Named after planet in the Solar System.
Number 4. American VTOL research aircraft.
Number 5. Japanese transport. Initially had pylon mounted turboprops, but this changed soon after.
Number 6. Correct again Captain, the MMB HFB 320 Hansa. Quote:

No.2 is the Breguet 941

From World champs. in scale RC, Oslo, Norway, 1986.
This model was built and flown by a french monsieur who I think was a World Champion in 1980. Not sure if it was with this plane.

There was a plan to power the Jupiter with a turboprop in the front and a jet in the rear. Matra (French missile experts) were going to market it as the Matra Moynet 2000, which was claimed to have an estimated range of 1,400miles at 400 mph. No idea if it was built. | |

Country: | Looks like the Stinson Model A Tri-Motor. 
Way back in 1987 at the cost of $75,000, Kennedy Miller made a replica of the Model A for an Australian TV mini-series titled “Riddle of the Stinson” that told the story of the crash, survival and rescue of a Model A passengers in 1937.
I remember walking through the replica which was once hangered at Wangaratta Airworld museum. Certainly more realistic from the outside. Sadly Airworld closed down a number of years ago. Australian Film Commission: Searchable Film Database Wangaratta Tourist Attraction, Air World | |

Maybe we should try to ID something much more modern.
What's this? | 
Unfortunately Krabat, Wurger posted the Ye-8 in October last year (post#1241). Try again.  | |
