    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Interview with Douglas Robinson]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Douglas was in the Local Defence Volunteers before joining the Royal Air Force as a pilot. After RAF Babbacombe, he did initial training at RAF Scarborough and then in Rhodesia. Initial flight training in Harare on Tiger Moths was followed by service training on Oxfords at Bulawayo. Douglas had an eventful passage home when his troop ship, the Oronsay, was torpedoed by Italian submarine Archimede and he spent eight days in a lifeboat. After returning to the UK, Douglas went to an Operational Training Unit to get crewed up, initially at RAF Wymeswold and then RAF Castle Donington on Wellingtons. He went to RAF Marston Moor and on to 158 Squadron at RAF Lissett on Halifaxes where he describes an encounter with Group Captain Leonard Cheshire. Douglas relates how a rear gunner refused to fly and was court martialled. Douglas flew three operations to Berlin and, on the third, took a direct hit. After most of the crew baled out, he managed to land in the Netherlands before being taken prisoner. Stalag Luft VI, on the border of East Prussia and Lithuania, was followed by Stalag Luft IV after the Russians approached. For three months Douglas was part of the long march before being rescued by the 6th Airborne Division and flown back home. Douglas stayed on for three years after the war. He was posted to RAF Wing and went up to RAF Cosford as a flying officer. He attended a Lancaster Conversion Unit and flew Lancasters. He finished his RAF career at a development squadron at the Central Signals Establishment.  He recalls flying a Lancaster at the first Biggin Hill Air Show in front of Winston Churchill.]]></dcterms:description>
