Captain Lorraine and Sgt Wilson may have been the first RFC as that was not formed until 1912. They are commemorated at the Airman’s Cross close to Stonehenge.
I’ve got some pictures of the Airmans Cross sitting in my scanner.
As soon as this picture posting facility is repaired I’ll post them up here.
Cheers
Andy

Found this: –
17 September 1911
Lieutenant R.A. Cammell becomes the first British military pilot to die in a flying accident when he is killed in a crash at Hendon aerodrome.
On this, rather obvious, website
