A very interesting image taken at Farnborough, most likely during the enemy Aircraft Exhibition in October 1945. A few unique aircraft can be seen in this shot, an Fw 189 behind the Do 217's nose, fins from an He 219 visible above the fuselage, along with the Ju 388 and its unique canopy glazing, with the Fw 200 to the right. The Fw 189 is Wk Nr 0173, AM 27, the He 219 is likely to be Wk Nr 310200, AM 23, the Ju 388 is Wk Nr 500006, AM 83, which went to the College of Aeronautics at Cranfield, where it was on display in the hangar with a collection of weird and wonderful aircraft that made up the Library of Flight before being sadly scrapped. The Fw 200 is Wk Nr 0111, AM 96.

I have a pdf of a period booklet of Farnbourough exibition. Tell what there is to see and in what hall. Engines were part of this.

They were indeed, you have posted many images showing the display halls where aircraft and engines were displayed and labelled. The British were very intrigued with the Walther closed cycle engines fuelled by HTP and used that technology to develop a family of rocket engines. Sadly, most of the aircraft ended up on the dump at Farnborough less than a year after the exhibition, while the more technologically intriguing hardware went to places like Cranfield, while some of the more historic ended up with the RAF Air Historic Branch, which was tasked with keeping what were considered historic airframes. Most of those that survived the 20 years after WW2 still exist in museums around Britain and elsewhere.
