Unknown user says
There are two shots of a Fairey Firefly (best guess) landing on carrier, definitely these are not Spitfires, although Spitfires appear between these shots.
The Spitfire's undercarriage retracted outwards, the Firefly's inwards, thus the Firefly's appear more splayed than the Spitfire.
Colin Uttley says
A mix of Seafires (the naval version of the Spitfire) and Fireflies. For some reason, the bombing footage is playing backwards.
