Being a bit of an enthusiast for Aircraft, I'd say that the fighter on the left of picture 5 would be the "Hurri" with the fighter to the right being the "Spitty". tailplane, canopy, wings tend to be a better help to identification.

Taken last year (also from the Southport show) RAF Woodvale hosting the warbirds "Lanc", "Mustang" & "Spitty", the last one is a replica of the Spitty sponsored by Lytham St.Annes, raised as a memorial late 2011, early 2012.
