Pedant mode on for this fascinating early aviator.

Temple is buried in Acton Cemetery in a fairly ornate tomb adorned with an angel. It bears the the epitaph:

'Now gallant boy pursue thy happy flight with swifter motion haste to purer light'













A very well researched 7-page biography of this fascinaiting aviator can be found here:
