Part of #6 Course, 58 Operational Training Unit, RAF Grangemouth.

From Ralph Snape of Aircrew Remembered “From what I have been able to determine from his Service Record he was posted to 58 OTU directly from 11 Service Flying Training School (SFTS) at Yorkton, Saskatchewan on the 16th September 1941 barely a month before losing his life. So he was not an instructor but a student learning to fly the Spitfire.”


Reported missing from a section attack exercise between Leuchars and Cupar, at ll55hrs. P/O Sly, age 21,was found in his burnt out aircraft on Mandy Moss, Ochils, Perthshire, 21-10-41. Buried in Grangemouth Grandsable cemetery.
