After being diagnosed with maxillofacial cancer in 2023, Robert found solace in transforming his shed into a makeshift Second World War museum, housing his extensive collection of militaria. Located near Cotteridge, Robert’s shed holds priceless artifacts from British, American, and German forces. Among the collection is a wing spar from a Wellington Bomber HE218, reportedly found by a lake in Compton Verney.
