Even with a lot of imagination, Sgt Curmers doesn't resemble any of the names of the crew of LM187 as listed in the ORB...
Either this name got totally jumbled up in the report of the Reel, or the ORB is wrong on this point. If the latter, then look for a Sgt Curmers in 218 Squadron ORB's on previous dates.

Remarkable: three men parachuted down, plus 5 more 'in enemy territory', makes 8, while a Lancaster crew had seven.
Coordinates J6446 point to a spot just south of Brussels.

Regards,
Leendert
