Good morning Lynne and Lister Another post but this is relevant to Liverpool Michael Lister Robinson Service number 37300 was born in Chelsea, London on 8 May 1917. He was the son of Roy Lister Robinson, 1st (and last) Baron Robinson and Charlotte Marion Cust Bradshaw. He joined the RAF on a short service commission in September 1935. On the 28th he was posted to 3 FTS, Grantham and, with training completed, he joined No. 111 Squadron at Northolt on August 3rd 1936. Robinson went to No. 11 Group Pool, St Athan on January 30th 1939, as an instructor and was appointed 'B' Flight Commander on July 10th Robinson went to No. 238 Squadron at Chilbolton on September 28th and was posted to command No. 609 Squadron at Middle Wallop on October 4th. He was posted away to lead the Biggin Hill Wing in early August 1941. On August 19 Ortmans of 609 went down into the sea during a Blenheim escort operation. Robinson circled him until his fuel ran very low, by which time an ASR launch was well on the way. He just managed to make it back to Manston, where he made a crash-landing. On August 27th Robinson destroyed a Me109, his final victory. In September 1941 Robinson was rested and commanded RAF Manston until October, when he was appointed as aide to the Inspector General of the RAF. Back on operations, Robinson was appointed to lead the Tangmere Wing on January 1st 1942. He failed to return from a sweep on April 10th whilst leading the Wing at the head of 340 Squadron and he and his aircraft were not seen again. He was at that time 25 years old, having destroyed a total of 16 enemy aircraft, 4 probable, 1 shared probable, and 8 damaged and 1 shared damaged. Robinson is remembered on the Runnymede Memorial. His father (Roy Lister Robins) on his maternal side was from the Lowe family in Liverpool. Michael Lister Robinson mother Charlotte Bradshaw never gave up hope that he son was still alive; there is also a connection to the Bridson & Lowe family of Liverpool thru her family RIP Michael my cousin 2 times removed much admired June Walker
