SANDRA COLLEY is trying to find families of two Second World War airmen.

They are John Francis Brown, from Sunderland, and Douglas Jackson, from Gipsyville, Hull.

They were both on board a Halifax Bomber LV778 C6-B, which was based at RAF Snaith, Pollington, Yorkshire, on February 24, 1944.

They were part of a bombing run over factories, when they were shot down and killed along with the rest of the crew.

Other members of the crew included Richard Rohrer, Leslie Atkinson, Ronald Colley, Lloyd Carmichael, John Harthill and George Langford.

Mr Jackson was pilot, and Mr Brown was operator. Mr Brown was aged 24 and the son of Mr and Mrs J Brown, possibly John and Jessie (nee Feetham).
