You will find him on FreeBMD. The death is recorded as being recorded in the Northumberland North First Registration District which includes Belford, Berwick, Glendale and Wooler sub-districts.

Youd have to go to each of the areas or get his birth certificate to get it exact I think.  Others more experienced may be able to put me right there.

Here is Herbert Raymond Stranges promotion to Pilot Officer (on probation)
http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/36248/supplements/5030
It also gives his non comm service number which is 743181 so you can search that too to see if he has any other records elsewhere
Heres his promotion to FO
