Correction

Sorry Shabby, Mossie TE809 should read HX809.

I can help you a little on 3 of your queries, with the exception of crew names
Mosquito TE809, 605 Sqn Bradwell Bay, flew into a balloon cable at Buntingford. The pilot was able to gain some height and both crew baled out. Date 10/3/44.
Mosquito HP848, 2 Group Support Unit, flew into trees near Collier’s End. Two killed. Date 5/8/44.
Tempest EJ551, 501 Sqn, Bradwell Bay. Engine failure. Abandoned 1 mile E of Standon.
Can’t trace your Hurricane. The one you quoted was transferred to the Admiralty in Sept 1942.
Hope the rest is of some use.

Having dug up many wartime aircraft remains, under MOD licence, all have a part number stamped into the metal, together with a maker’s stamp and an AID Inspector’s stamp.

Every aircraft component, however small, has a part number stamped into it. You should find some under the interior paint. Try shining a light from the side at a low angle.
