Hello Kelvyn,
I my opinion he commemorated there, buried elsewhere, but most likely body
never recovered due to aircraft loss whilst on sortie...
Read below which indicates to me that he is not buried there -

Only 8 & 9 give a grave number, the others in my opinion are plaque
references.

>From the Commonwelth war graves commision website I find the entry as
below. My questions are, how would I find where and how he died, also does
this mean he is actually buried in Macclesfield or is it possibly just a
memorial plaque.

Regards

Kelvyn
