Jim Bell is a hard man to track down. Try looking up the records and see how many James Bells there are as we can only assume that his name was James, as his mates called him "Jim".
He enlisted in the RAAF and after training found himself up in Darwin working in the ground crew for Bill and his Spitfire aircraft, with 457 Squadron.
No further information on Jim at this present time. However, if any family have some details please contact the Spitfire Association.
