The Vampire is an F1 and wears 3 Sqn codes (J5). That unit operated Vampire F1s between Apr 48 to May 49 at three German airfields; Wunstorf, Gutersloh, Lubeck and then back to Gutersloh where it re-equipped with Vampire FB5s in May 49.
The Mosquito is, I think, NF 30, NT508 (if I have read the underwing serial correctly), possibly of 616 Sqn, but that is a guess as no unit markings are visible.
See here for more info on the Lancastrian:

If the Mk XIX Spitfire is PS932, from an interpretation of the under wing serial at low resolution, then likely at BAFO Com Wing Buckeburg.
Please confirm the serial from the original.
Similarly do you have a serial number for the Tempest? PR84???
