RAFVR officers listed by the CWGC who died while acting as ATC instructors include Flying Officer Andrew Murray Reith on 28.8.43,

From Facebook Kenley Revival - History of Kenley Airfield

Today we remember Flying Officer Andrew Murray Reith, an Air Training Corps gliding instructor, (143 Glider School),
who lost his life when his glider crashed after a low hop at Hamsey Green aerodrome, Warlingham, on 28th August, 1943.
Andrew was born in Edinburgh, in December, 1911, to the Rev. George Murray Reith and Mary Jane
Reith (nee McNeill Bowie). He had several brothers, notably Major John George Archibald Reith.
Andrew left a widow Birgit (nee. Frost-Hanson). The couple had married in Portsmouth at the beginning of
1940. I think they had at least one child. Flying Officer Reith RAFVR was cremated at Mitcham Rd,
Croydon, and is remembered on panel 5 of the war memorial there.
