Post war aircraft wrecks at north coates

Can anybody help with the types of aircraft removed to RAF North Coates by 54 MU in the early to mid 1950s. I have identified a Spitfire, a couple of Meteors and Hunter and am in contact with an ex 54 man who members Oxfords, Canberras, Meteors, Varsity, Valleta and a solitary Tiger Moth and others but he couldnt recall the types. Some aircraft were taken to the RAF School of Firefighting at Sutton on Hull but most were reduced to spares and what was left eventually scrapped and sent by rail to Alclad for melting down. 54 MU were responsible for recovering crashed aircraft in Lincolnshire, so there will no doubt be a vast variety of aircraft recovered. I am particularly interested in individual serial numbers if known.
Any help no matter how little is welcomed
