Further to my post on 3rd September:
There is a brass plaque in Newtimber Church, West Sussex, (just north of Brighton) commemorating the death of Squadron leader Arthur Gordon Jones-Williams, MC. He died on 17th December 1929, aged 31 , in Tunisia, while attempting to break the world long distance non-stop record by flying from the UK to Capetown. According to Wikipedia, he was an RFC ace in World War 1, having shot down 11 enemy aircraft, and, after the war, was the first pilot to fly non stop UK to Karachi.
