No idea for no 1, guessing poplar hawk and elephant hawk moths for 2 and 3?

I'd go with:
1. Drinker moth. The yellow bands are quite distinctive.
2. Hummingbird Hawk-moth. The lateral yellow stripe along the side makes me think this.
3. Elephant Hawk-moth or Small Elephant Hawk-moth. Hard to tell - do you have higher-resolution pictures?
Cheers,
