Robinson, R.A.F. D.F.C. L.G. 14/11/1944, A/Flt. Lt. 83 Sqdn. Recommendation states 'Since being awarded the DFM in March, 1943, this officer has completed further sorties with the squadron. He has now completed further sorties with the squadron. He now has a total of 60 operational flights to his credit. At all times he has proved himself to be cool and courageous in the face of the enemy's defences and has set a sterling example as Flight Engineer Leader of the Squadron. On the night of 26 July, 1944, as Engineer to the Controller of an attack on Givors, the route over the enemy occupied territory to the target was covered by heavy thunderstorms and the aircraft suffered severe icing. These difficult flying conditions were also encountered over the target and prevented normal marking procedure being brought into effect. Displaying great coolness flight Lieutenant Robinson pin pointed the position of the aircraft despite the difficult conditions and skilfully guided his captain to the aiming point. His undaunted determination and skill on this occasion of almost hopeless conditions of weather and in the face of enemy opposition, enabled the marking to be completed accurately and the raid to be a success.' D.F.M. L.G. 14/3/1943 F/Sgt. 7 Sqdn.  Rec. 'This Flight Engineer has now completed 30 operational sorties against well defended targets in Germany and other distant objectives.
