Some of the parts left from the crash where stuck half in the planet meaning that I could not recover them but I could see half of them sticking out.

You might have been able to recover them anyway. Your ship's model is at least a little bit bigger than the radius the game uses for collision detection, and the distance for picking things up might be slightly bigger than the collision radius. I remember once having almost half of my huge carrier actually inside a star with no ill effect. Save before trying this, of course, as even a tiny mistake could instantly kill you.
