Hello Alain,

In his crew list there is no Sgt Cumers while Langley and Benton are spelled Longley and Banton In his Vol 9 (Roll of Honour) there is no Cumers at all for 1945. He doesn't use A-89 as a reference (but others do) but place the crash at Nethen (Brabant) some 10km SSW from the centre of Leuven. B Rgds Stig |

Stig,
Nethen is just 8km due west of A-89 Le Culot/Beauvechain. Place of bailing out by crew near A-89 was followed by crash of Lancaster farther down the road, I reckon. More details on Rafcommands. Regards, Leendert |

No sign of a Sgt. Cumers on 6 Jan 45 for LM187 in ORB 218 squadron either...
If an airman with that name also came down, then we look at another bail out. Regards, Leendert |
