Schneider Trophy
 

I'm trying to locate the graves of some of the Schneider Trophy pilots and those who supported them in their endeavours.

So far I have located the graves of .....

Lady Lucy Houston, who sponsored the 1931 contest.
Flt Lt Dick Waghorn, who won the 1929 contest.
RJ Mitchell, designer of the Supermarine S6A+B


Does anyone know the last resting places of ....

Flt Lt John Nelson Boothman (d 29Dec1957 in Westminster Hospital) the Schneider winner in 1931.

Flt Lt Sidney N Webster (d 5May1984). Winner in 1927.
Flt Lt Sam Kinkead (d Mar 1928 in Supermarine S5 accident)
Flt Lt David D'Arcy Greig (d 1986)


Any help gratefully received.

This helps you with Sam Kinkead....

Rather odd that his place of burial can't be found, but recently his medals were sold for £17,000 with the proceeds going to the RAF Benevolent Fund. Details here:

Probably in Bexhill as he was living there when he died, see below.

Samuel Kinkead's final resting place is Fawley Parish Church. See the pic as per the link, posted by Planemike.
I visited a few years back, fresh flowers on the grave, someone still cared it seems.

There is a memorial window to John Boothman over the entrance doors to Harrow High School, formerly Harrow County Boys School, in Gayton Road Harrow.
