Sierż. Słoński - Ostaja Bogdan made a training-flght with 
Spitfire I, code  X4251.
Because of the incoming mist he flew into a hillside at Malingshead Farm. 
The aircraft exploded and burnt out. 

His brothers Słoński-Ostoja Karol Józef and Słoński-Ostoja Marek died as well. 

On the 3 headstones the family-name OSTAJA-SŁOŃSKI has been mentioned, 
but in Polish sources SŁOŃSKI-OSTAJA is always recorded. 
On the Polish War Memorial at Northolt the name is written in the same way.
