Damaged Aircraft Collected on 17 August 1940 - Information Please?

“17.8.40 The Undermentioned Aircraft were reported crashed, Crash Inspectors were sent, and Crash Parties were dispatched to salve (when available)”

Blenheim L9460
Blenheim R3632 [These two Blenheims are in addition to the four which Ross McNeill lists on the ground]

Spitfire L1068 at Kenley
Hurricane R4195 at West Malling
Spitfire N3230 at Hawkinge
Hurricane N4188 near Tangmere
Hurricane P3961 at Hawkinge
Spitfire L1038 at Hawkinge

I have found information for about two thirds of the list of aircraft salvaged, traced to a Squadron, a date of incident and a Pilot.

Any help with the others above please, along with the information source?

Mark
