My father in law was navigator in Jim Comans’ crew in the Second World War. We have a number of photographs of the crew and would love to be in touch with any members of Jim Comans’ family.

Reply to Mark Lee read the Crew by David Price if you haven't already. It details the crews of Jim Comans with his Lancasters service during WW2.
