Query about RAF Spitalgate 1942

Thanks to Johnfairr I have learned a great deal more about Derek Olver Acting Flying Officer. I feel as though the curtains of the past have been drawn back to give me a true insight into the lives of Derek and his wife Kay. Information that I sought and the knowledge that I am now gradually digesting as I proceed to find out more.

Derek was stationed near Grantham where he instructed on Oxfords. I have an active interest in aircraft however that was a new one to me although in the past I doubtless have encountered one when visiting the likes of Duxford. I shall be more on the look out for one next time I visit a similar establishment.

Now I am putting forward another query, which I trust one of you might be able to help me answer. Does anyone know if the training near Grantham took place at RAF Spitalgate?

If there is anyone else out there who has any recollection of Derek Olver please could they contact me.
