The Park Royal postcode connection leads to a flying site close to Acton aerodrome used by Claude Grahame-White for the Daily Mail sponsored London to Manchester race which took place in 1910.

Sorry it's not whats his name. I gave a Monumental Clue. Warmtoast is in the right broken neck of the woods i.e. Acton. But not the flying field.

Also in your post code area is Acton cemetery, on whose site I found a monument to Charles Emmanuel (surname undecipherable), killed in an accident at Scampton 1917. I suspect your man is also in the same cemetery.

George Lee Temple
Well Done! Sorry he's gone upside down again. Somebody please put him straight or click on the image - I'm too much of a flat earther.
Next Please!

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:
