Narrative:
Avro Anson EG192 (School of General Reconnaissance RAF): This School of General Reconnaissance aircraft, failed to return from a night navigational exercise over the North Sea on 22.10.1946. It was last seen on radar 90 miles east of RAF Leuchars, Fife, and is assumed to have flown into the sea. All four crew posted as missing, believed killed on active service
Crew;
F/Lt (145078) Michael Timothy Barber (Pilot) RAF
Sgt (1810272) Peter Edward Robbins (Nav.) RAF
Sgt (1628584) John Victor William Newman (Nav. u/t) RAF
F/Sgt (2220290) Charles Thomes Harlow (W/Op.) RAF

As no trace of the wreckage of Anson EG192 nor any of the above four crew were ever found, they are all commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial. The "Dundee Evening Telegraph" (23 October 1946) reported the aircraft as missing over the North Sea. Sgt Peter Edward Robbins was found by a Trawler a month later (November 1946) floating in the North sea; his body was recovered, identified and then buried at sea.
