Charles A. Robertson

Chief Draughtsman of P. B. Cow and Co. He was also responsible for the Ministry of Aircraft Production Air Sea Rescue Equipment Drawing Office.

1842 Robertson developed the idea of an official club for Airmen who had survived escaping from distressed aircraft over water. Robertson took it upon himself to form and personally bankroll the club - named The Goldfish Club – Gold for the value of life and fish for the sea.

When he left P. B. Cow and Co in 1947, he took the club records with him and continued to support the administration at his own expense.[1]
