He joined the RAF in 1940 and his Hampden bomber had taken off from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire for a raid on Gelsenkirchen but the aircraft crashed near Oberhausen. He was buried in Dusseldorf North Cemetery but was re-interred at Reichswald in November 1946.
Born 1922 in Southdean. Son of the late Thomas William Robson-Scott (died 1937) and of his second wife Violet (Cunningham) Robson-Scott of Lethem, Southdean who he had married in 1918 in Jedburgh.
