I have no clue about the plane in the foreground, but I'm guessing that's a Fouga Magister in the background?

Looks like the remains of a Fairey Gannet.

And you know what? the more I'm looking at that picture, the more I'm thinking that it isn't a Magister in the background. I thought you were right until I really studied it. What looks like the front end of a Magister, is I think, the back end of a North American Harvard trainer. (T6 Texan). I think!

Pooch, Th rear one is a Harvard - correct! Pooch and Joe... The front one isn't a Gannet!  (although it does look like one)

The top one is a Transavia Airtruk sprayer.
Next; A Goodyear? Inflatoplane.
Bottom: as joe-stallin says - a Caproni Ca60 heap which crashed on it's maiden flight.
Interesting to note that the Inflatoplane project was rejected by the US military because they claimed 'it could be brought down by a well aimed bow and arrow'.
Stuck on the helicopter... Correct on all. We will see who chimes in on the chopper.

Yes...on the Gannet it is set further back and so is the radar ops cockpit. The Gannet had a longer fin fairing tapering up the fuselage. With the Gannet and Wyvern you are going in the right direction.

Ant, B88 is correct.  Also known as YB1. Only three were built before the Gannet was chosen for the AS role. This is what it originally looked like; www.aviastar.org/air/england/blackburn_b-88.php

Correct on all. We will see who chimes in on the chopper. To fill in the blank spot and move things along: Eurocopter X3 Ant, you're up!
