Strictly speaking, Number 2 School of Aerial Gunnery (raised in Turnbury) was amalgamated with No 1 school in May 1918. So it didn't exist in the time frame you have given.
However on the 29th May 1918, Number 2 School of Aerial Fighting and Gunnery (note the additional title, fighting) was formed - with elements from Number 4 School of Aerial Gunnery - and based in Marske (near Redcar, north Yorks).
I'm pretty sure this is correct.
