Hi Oracal 

O.C.B Denham = Officer Cadet Battalion,Denham

2 S of A = No2 School of Aeronautics (Brasenose College,Oxford ?)

47 Reserve Squadron = Cramlington

37 Reserve Squadron = Catterick (Higher Instruction = more advanced flying instruction)

(on Appointment as Flying Officer 17/4/17) = not a new rank but means he has been accepted officially as Aircrew.

36 Reserve Sqdn = Beverley

60 Reserve Sqdn = Beverley

21 Sqdn = France (RE8 a/c – Artillery spotting/recco)

Home Establishment (suitable as Flying Instructor)

(I think )Artillery and Infantry Cooperation School (Hursley Park/Worthy Down ??)
