Robert Joseph Holt,

Affectionately known as Dave to his fellow Airman. Was a Flight Engineer and Navigator cruising Arvo Lancaster’s Bombers in WWII RAF. He had two daughters Anne and June. He flew all over the world but was based primarily in Singapore.

He raised his hand for Operation Dresden (pseudonym) and was known to be a savant. His Mathematics skills and untold Navigation Techniques where passed on to his Grandson “Mr Holt”

Dave was based out of:

Gibraltar Ireland Cornwall Scotland Singapore Newqauy He used to bring vinyl records home to his Daughters. Dave, known to be a futurist, predicted plastic ATM cards well before their development, and passed this skill on to his Grandson.

His photo taken in an Arvo Lancaster is a cherished momento in his family, proudly displayed in all family homes.

Robert “Dave” was awarded nine medals for conduct during service.

21 years irreproachable.

Robert died in 1972 from throat cancer, suspectedly attributed to oxygen masks worn whilst in Aircraft. He was a lovely man, who with his wife Pamela Melling who remarried owned a Pub and Post Office in England. Plus a huge Rhodesian Ridgeback that used to sit on the bar.

Having died Mr Holt and Robert never met, but Mr Holt talks to his photograph regularly, and believes his spirit lives on in him. He grew up holding the sheer weight of his War Medals in his hands, looking on his photograph, dreaming of peace for all man kind.

He knows his Granddad is somewhere in the skies flying high towards the stars.

Per ardua ad astra.
