My first port of call would be to try and find his Service Number via
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C4005738
I don’t know how many Frederick Hennessy are on there
If he served be before WW2 he would have a 6 figure Service number
Confirmed he was the wireless operator on Anson K8819 of SAN (School of Air Navigation) that crashed at Castle Carey, Somerset January 15, 1940.

What rank was he when he stayed at the Stork Hotel in Liverpool?
At least there was no damage due to an albatross
Couldn’t you get an approx number by using “Aircraft of the many” by Michael Bowyer it contains the numbers from 1944 Survey
Did the RAF do another survey at end of the war ?
re: “I’m in the middle of Iceland and merging posts using my phone is probably beyond my ability”
Couldn’t you have moved on to Sainsbury’s to do it instead?
Look on the bright side at least they have not gone for the obvious (and the name to pull in the “Punters”) but unfortunately in-accurate “SPITFIRE”
Though they do give him the right Rank later on..
“Lt.” Johnny Kent
Not a good start!.
Nothing wrong with walking away while you’re still ahead.
So his main type of mode of transport now are Cars?
Just seen the film with my 12 year old son about 50 people in the Cinema at 3 am on A Saturday in July. I had to explain some things to him but he thought it was a great film
The seen of the little ships brought a lump to my throat
Go see it

The only question left… is P8439 still there under the sand?
