I suspect that the 61 picture (middle one) is the aircraft that dropped its tail wheel of the back of a boat then chopped the roof off as the disc was moved forward. This gave the pilot no means of shutting the engines down (quadrant missing) and so he ditched it along side and waited till it ran out of fuel.

May be wrong, but it seems strange to have a camera on the scene otherwise (a/c is still running in photo).
