Seeking full name of F/O R.M. Batten 91 Sqn.

I am looking for the full name of F/O R. M. Batten (116035) who served with 91 Sqn. before being shot down and take prisoner on 9 Feb. 1943. Peter Hall's history of 91 Sqn. refers to him as "Ron" so presumably his first name was "Ronald." Curiously a search on the London Gazette does not yield his commissioning notice which would give his full name. His subsequent promotions are however listed (F/L wef 29 Oct. 43). Another oddity is that he is listed in The Air Force List as "D. M. Batten."

Thanks,
Tom
