208484 Robert Robson DFC. Royal Air Force from:Northumberland I have been researching my family history for quite some time now and have been unable to connect "Uncle Bob", (Robbie Robson) to the family, although he is supposed to be my Grandfather Allan Harrison's cousin. However, I do know the following about him: He flew in short Stirlings throughout the war and was a rear gunner (a tail end Charlie). His call sign was "Q" for "Queenie". He flew supplies and arms to the French resistance. He was awarded the DFC but refused the award. Many of his friends were killed, and this had serious implications on Uncle Bob's mental health in later life. He had family based in Luton, Bedfordshire but would probably have come from Northumberland. I have attached the only photo we have of him, Bob is 2nd from the left on the top row. If somebody recognises him, or can give me some more information that would be great Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
