On my other RPi when I open an application a new panel item appears at the top of the screen in the bar. However on the other one this is not the case so when I minimise an application window, I cannot recover it. I have obviously done something really stupid so apologise ahead of what will I'm sure be a blindingly obvious fix! :-)

You may have accidentally removed the task bar applet from the panel.

Try right clicking on the panel then Add/Remove Panel Items. Check that Task Bar (Window List) is shown on the list. If not press Add to re-add it and up/down to put it in the right place. Also tick the box in the stretch column so it fills all available space

If you right click on the task bar, and the top menu item is Spacer Settings... It might be the case that the spacer size is very big so the Task Bar (Window List) does not show.

My children set the Spacer size to 1000.
