I just realised that this cemetery ( that looks after one of my Portuguese soldiers) has a few RFC and WW2 RAF headstones also ... thought you may be interested !! http://www.hiddenhorsham.co.uk/43/hillscemetery.htm Annie lane:

I have a few RAAF lads in Nicosia War Cemetery in Cyprus however no one is willing to go there when they are on holiday due to its close proximity to the action. Still have to do a bit of research on these three. Anyone know where SFTS Macleod is located?

Thanks Jerome, I think you are spot on the money. I checked my Canadian RAAF deaths and came up with one the same. The others were denoted as (7 FSTS RCAF) and (2 FIS Vulcan Alto) and all are buried at Fort Macleod - Alberta - Canada. Flying Officer Pivott seems quite difficult to track. Nothing on google either. From the Australian roll of honour I found he was with 79 OTU RAF and died in an accident. The posting at death I had was therefore incorrect.
