RAF Fairford 1943
RAF Great Dunmow 1943-1945
RAF Hurn 1943

The National Archives does have a helpful seach page for looking up RAF station records and it can be found here

Scroll down to the box marked 'name of RAF Station' type it in and bingo!

RAF Fairford was not constructed until 1944 (according to Wikipedia) so there would not be an ORB for 1943
RAF Great Dunmow was primarily a USAAF base but the following is held at Kew https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/C4098332
RAF Hurn was primarily a USAAF base but the following is held at Kew https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/C7158511
RAF Stoney Cross https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/C7158682 and https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/C7158681
RAF Keevil https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/C7158535
