Country: | Yup, also known as the Folland Frightful, which sounds a very English sort of name 
Although on the original picture it has a Napier Sabre up front, at that time.

Country: | I actually looked through every single page in this thread and these two haven't been pictured. I think they'll get nailed but enjoy anyways. I love the top one...

Country: | The ones in the background apear to be Ryan FR-1 Fireballs (aparently flying on jet engine alone with props feathered)
A pic actually featured on wikipedia: FR Fireball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But the plane in the foreground looks a bit different. (the intake over the cowling) | |

Country: | Bingo. I love that picture. They're all feathered, but the closest engine still shows motion blur so you know the camera's exposure isn't fast enough to have made their propellers freeze in the picture. Apparently the piston engine was used primarily for take-off and landing as the jet lacked sufficient power and reliability. There have been several multiple-propulsion pics here in this thread, I think Ryan actually had another one too. The market for this type of fighter couldn't have been big, they only would have been useful for a few interim years as the jet came of age.
Bonus points for the plane in the foreground. Too easy.
Any takers for the biplane? Hint- it has a ridiculous name.
