That second photo in #41 is really interesting, the caption reads: "The RAF put on a short exhibit of wartime aircraft on the sight of a pub that was razed by a V-2 rocket bomb. They cleared the rubble of the pub and put up an outdoor "museum" of various RAF aircraft, from a hollowed out Horsa glider to a Spitfire, mounted sideways on a stand with one wing removed so people could see the cockpit better. The Mossie is a late B.XVI or a B.35. Other aircraft crammed into this lot for the exhibit included the actual "Friday the 13th" Halifax (not the recreation on display today) as well as a Beaufighter that was unwisely displayed with a full rocket load! (It impressed the Soviet delegation that visited)."

There's what looks like a Griffon engined Spitfire on its side with only the starboard wing attached behind the Mossie. I remember seeing photos of the Hali Friday the 13th on display in London, perhaps it was in the same place?
