Is it possible that the entry "No 21 OTU 91 Grp 25.4.44 Ferry Trg : to c/a 311 Ferry Training Unit" is a move from which he and his crew (c/a = crew attachment, crew aircraft?) never return to 21 OTU? In other words they are now fully operationally trained and their next job is to ferry an aircraft (and hence themselves) to MAAF (Mediterranean Allied Air Forces). 311 FTU teach them to do just that and launch them accordingly, arriving 2 ARC 8.5.44.
Once in Theatre they are posted as "reinf" (reinforcements) to depleted units. Given the very high loss rate on the Milan raid this must have been an ever present need.
Just trying to see some woods rather than trees here, but perhaps not...

Reason: Oops! 2 ARC changed to 21 OTU, sorry!
