He was originally buried in Brockwood Cemetery, Surrey, His remains were exhumed and he is now buried at the American Cemetery, Madingley, Cambridgeshire, Plot F, Row 5, Grave 70.
Your location for the crash matches my information,
I have been allowed access to search and hope to try by the end of the week.
I should be searching Brotherwick tomorrow morning about 8.30am.
