Is that third one a P2V?

(Is it just me, or when Google Earth starts zooming in, does it remind you of Slim Pickens taking his last ride on the H-bomb? :D )

#1 looks like a T-6 and a Trimotor (high wing)
#4 looks like an almost complete Mig -9 and to the North a Soviet "Beagle".

I found on a web site that it is at:
N 26° 42'45"
E 024° 01' 27"
But you can't see anything and that is just where the plaque is. The plane has been moved to Tobruk to prevent looting. Here are some photos of it there:
