John Simon Robson
This pilot served in 118 Squadron late 1941-42. Does anyone have details of his RAF career? I think he was a flight commander with 118 Sqn. He isn't mentioned in the Battle of Britain,and I don't see any mention of him in 1941 in any other theatre of ops.

Re: John Simon Robson
Hi,
A quick look in on The POW list gave the following - There are two J. Robson's listed , both as being at Camp 357. 1st RAF service number was 971172. 2nd RAF service number was 1024004, this one had POW number 616. One of these could perhaps be your man ? Alex

Re: John Simon Robson
Robson was one of the early members of 118 Sqn; I think I have a photo of him. No details apart from 27 Mar 41 his Spitfire suffered an undercarriage failure
