Odd/old 26 airframe codes

Can anyone put an aircraft to these codes i came accross recently… I believe the 26 codes with a single letter were the original wartime codes. The Whitley was 26J – obviously this had to be expanded as there just aren’t enough letters in the alphabet!

26AD
26AH
26AK
26AP
26AR
26AS
26B
26BH
26BQ
26BR
26CH
26C
26D
26E
26F
26G
26H
26K

Thanks for any help….

In my database I have the following entries :

26AD ?
26AH Botha
26AK Henley
26AP ?
26AR Botha? not sure about this one
26AS Mentor and Magister
26B ?
26BH Hudson
26BQ Queen Wasp
26BR ?
26CH ?
26C Ripon
26D Iris
26E Fury
26F Vimy

Please note some of these codes got reused so there could be later aircraft that share the same codes.
