Help Needed To ID Units of Aircraft From Digitized 16mm Film

To make a long story short, I am beginning to receive digitized copies of old movies my Grandfather took while stationed with the 457th BG in Glatton, UK in 1944-45. The B-17's from the 457th I can easily identify by their nose art or serial number when visible, but I'm having trouble finding what units the following aircraft are from that were filmed visiting the base.

Below are screen shots of aircraft in need of unit identification.

First is this Hurricane, last two numbers appear to be 84 in the movie. The clip shows two Hurricanes with the letter H on the sides taking off and buzzing the field.


Next is a P-38 with the marking B9.


The only markings I could see for this is the P on the tail. A trainer?


And finally, this P-47 I was able to find already (see link below picture).

Thank you for any information anyone can provide. Expect to be receiving more digitized film soon, including some captured Luftwaffe footage.
