Hello,

I’m looking in to 3040738 Sergeant (Air Gunner) James Staniforth from Sheffield.

I have recently come across his medals for sale and as a preservist and collector of RAF Memorabilia I purchased them.

I’m after more details on him and possibly a photo if one exists of him, his aircraft or his crew!

Thank you very much, I hope I can contribute to this forum greatly!

Thank you, Sam!
