Aircraft Codes, Modelling Project

Hello All
I am a new member just registered.
I am underway with a modelling project regarding aircraft which came down on the Isle of Wight (England) during World War 2 and need assistance identifying individual aircraft code letters.
Should I run this as as thread under this topic or would posting under individual squadrons be better?.
I have identified around 25% of aircraft, still a lot to find.

Starting with RAF 1 Squadron (where Else) Codes JX-?

Hawker Hurricane IIC
Two aircraft lost in collision over Ryde, IOW 22 Nov 1941
BD940 Pilot: Flt Sgt L J Travis Killed
Z3899 Pilot Flt Sgt D F Perrin Baled Out, Injured


22 Squadron Codes OA-?
Vickers Vilderbeest
1 Aircraft lost in the sea near Ryde 1 Aug 1940
K6408 Pilot: P/O A Bailey Killed,
Aircraftsman R S Budd Injuered


23 Squadron Codes YP-?
Bristol Blenheim 1F
1 Aircraft lost, ran out of fuel crashed Brading Down
L6686 Pilot: Flt Sgt Loveridge Baled out OK
2 Crewmen: Killed

Many more to follow but that will do for now.

Thanks

Pete
