These included men with

(a) prewar flying experience (such as former bush pilots and Americans who already had flying experience). An example would be Squadron Leader John Hone, a very experienced prewar pilot who received number C.1294.

This makes sense as, according to what I know, GX Trimble was American... and a military surgeon.

Possibly, he also wrote on the topic? Although it is also possible that this was written by his son, cousin etc

This is possibly him, although I would be happier if the "X" was present.

Then again, if I had a middle name starting with an "X" I would drop that name pdq. I can only think of Xavier and Xerxes, although there must be others.
