Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

'Walk" also means "Run Screaming Away"

And while the airframe and engine as well as all the seats are almost certainly Class 26, I'll bet the radios are all in excellent condition.

I heard where one of our carriers got hit by a Kamikaze and after that the only radios they had working on the ship for some days thereafter were those in a Wildcat had had its wing blown off.
 
The repair crews will fix this in no time.

Anyone think that the battleship fo'c'sle in the lower-left looks suspiciously RN?........

I think it is one of the older BB's either BB-32 USS Wyoming (but probably not BB-32 considering her service in WWII) BB-33 USS Arkansas, BB-34 USS New York, or BB-35 USS Texas.

The RN 13.5" and 15" turrets have the distinctive range hoods across the rear of the turret top, plus the distinctive 'ribs' from side-to-side. The US 12" and 14" turrets had flat roofs: https://navsource.org/archives/01/033/013345u.jpg
I could be wrong though....... :)

What sort of aircraft is in the V? Large barrel flexible guns in the front of the nacelles and pusher props, doesn't look familiar to me.

The tank chassises don't look right for WW2? At least the middle one looks like a Sheridan?

The planes in the 'V' are Devastators (please correct if wrong....). The middle tank chassis appears to be one of the Christie-based models, built in (very) small numbers before the war:

The planes in the "V" itself are undoubtedly, Devastators. I meant the one between the "V"? In the mouth of the "V".
Worldbeater??!
