It is a tradition dating from the first world war.
When a pilot did not return his belongings and uniform would be placed on a piano, and various songs played on it, while his fellow airmen got drunk. One time the "celebrations" got out of hand, and the piano was burned, from then on it has been a tradition, when a member of the RAF dies, a piano is burnt in his memory, just another quirky but heart-warming ( excuse my pun ) and very British tradition.
