That last shot of the Beaufighters shows what the German Navy had to endure.

Nice! That ship with the Coastal Command Liberators is the German cruiser Nurnburg after the German surrender; she ultimately went to Russia.

Three - one's the camera ship.
I presume she was outbound from Copenhagen harbour.

The caption read that they were escorts - that was all. Pretty cool. Didn't know they used Coastal Command like that.

Probably just in case she tried to make a run for it, and using Libs due to their range and payload? She'd been in Copenhagen, certainly at the end of March, so possibly heading up the Baltic.

That's low, the prop must be just inches from the ground ! I bet the pilot did not intend to get that low ?

The prop is about four or five feet from the ground, in line with the joint in the concrete taxi way.
