Series of aircraft at a museum

This is a photo, taken in the 1970s, of a series of planes at a small museum or possibly a breakers yard. The aircraft shown are :
Front right is a de Havilland Vampire which was One of the first operational jet fighters used by the RAF from the mid-1940s onward. It was later widely used as a trainer and it was very common in museums.
Centre is probably a Hunting Percival Jet Provost which was the RAFโs standard jet trainer from the 1950s into the 1970s.
In the background the larger, twin-engine jet with nacelles in the wings is almost certainly a Gloster Meteor
