which he rejoined No. 35 Squadron. He now recommenced operational flying. As pilot of a Halifax bomber he took part in a further four operational flights bringing the total of his operations to thirty-six. These additional operations comprised attacks on Duisburg, Huls, Hanover and Kiel.

From this last operation against Kiel undertaken on the night of the 30th June 1941, the aircraft failed to return to its base and all its crew was classified as missing. Later information was received from an enemy source that Flight Lieutenant Robison had lost his life and he was reclassified as missing believed killed in action. No further news was received and after due time had elapsed his death was officially presumed to have occurred on the 30th June 1941 as the result of air operations. It was later learned that he had been buried in the British Military Cemetery at Kiel.
