Jack Colman

Born in 1919, Jack Colman was the only child of Freda and Harold of York. A conscientious student, he had an ambition from the age of ten to become a pilot. The Second World War was his opportunity. Selected for pilot training, he joined the RAF shortly after his twenty-first birthday, which rescued him, for a time, from an office job in insurance. Post-war, he enjoyed a spell as a commercial pilot for BEA until 1953, when layoffs saw him return to insurance. He and Peggy had two boys, Peter and Richard, of whom he was very proud.
