Any help is much appreciated.

The top ship looks like an SZD-59, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL_Bielsko_SZD-59
and the bottom gliders are certainly Swift S-1's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-1_Swift
The middle glider is a little bit more tricky. While it at first
looks like a Ka-6, the tail is way too tall and high aspect. It looks
an Austrailian Sneider E-60 Boomerang to me, which has it's roots in
the KA-6. http://www.casa.gov.au/casadata/register/oldpics/GQZ.htm

I think the top two are both Ka-6s. The first might be a Br, Cr or maybe
an E. Notice the cutout in the elevator at the root. Almost looks more
like the cutout on the all flying tail of an E. The SZD-59 does not have
this big a cutout. Other proportions are very much Ka-6.

The second is defintely a distorted image of a Ka-6, and not a Boomerang.
The Boomerang has a swept, all flying tail. It is probably a Br or a Cr.

The third photo, I agree with Paul. It looks like a couple of Swifts.
