I am only really good with the RAF types: -

2. i do not know, i can tell you that it is a private venture aircraft going by the serial and not built to an official requirement. i think the X serials only went from 1 - 25 so if you find a list of those.. you could name X-19 ;)
3. is an Austin Greyhound
5. is a Caproni CA4

2. is the Armstrong-Whitworth Armadillo.

3. is the Austin Greyhound indeed

you also answered 5 correctly

assuming that nobody else is gonna answer the rest they are as follows...

1. is the Phonix D.I

4. is the Parnell Panther of the Royal Naval Air Service (those arent DTs, they are floats.)

6. is the most obscure plane i could find, in fact i could only find about 3 pictures of it, and they were all models. it is the Microplano Veloz of the Mexican Air Force.





PS
Furball, you post some aircraft for me to identify.
