His sisters were born in May 1911 in Islington. His father, James Francis Platt, was a repairer of Cash Registers, working on his own account. He was born in April 1885 in Islington. His mother, Amelia Minnie Platt, was born in January 1989 in St Pancras.<\/p>\n<p>In September 1939 Robert was still living with his parents at 7 Cambridge Crescent, Teddington. He was working as an Aeronautical Process Engineer. He was still single. His twin sisters were not living in the household, but there was a closed record suggesting the presence of a child, possibly one of his sisters\u2019 children.<\/p>\n<p>Lily Platt had married Charles M T Bertola in 1933 in Kingston, Surrey. They seem to have had one child in Brentford in 1938. Frances Platt married Lewis H J Richards in Staines in 1936. They seem to have had three children between 1938 and 1954, all in the Brentford\/London area.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Charles Platt, Flight Lieutenant, pilot,\u00a0was a member of the crew of the Stirling III BK718 which was shot down on 4th July 1943, either by Flak88 or Hayo Hermann (luftwaffepilot). They took off at 23.26 on 3th July 1943 from West Wickham and crashed at Mehlem on the westbank of the Rhine, 10 km SSE of Bonn.<br \/>The crew is buried at Overloon War Cemetery, except <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overloonwarchronicles.nl\/en\/norris-ivor-henry\/\">Sgt I.H.
