Your best chance is that someone who served in N. Africa on one of these is among our vast readership and will come in to help.

Alternatively, the RAF Historical Branch may be able to connect the airframe no. to a unit.

EDIT[: The only connection with Hooton Park seems to be that aircraft built in the US and Canada (inc Bostons and therefore probably Baltimores), and then shipped CKD to Liverpool, were assembled there in WWII.

"....the pilot attended RAF Hooton Park....." (to collect an aircraft for his unit ?)
