The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has an online database of casualties from the world wars at www.cwgc.org

A quick search gave this result:

Name: KEARNES, ROBERT THOMAS HARDEN
Initials: R T H
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Sergeant (W. Op.)
Regiment: Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve
Unit Text: 10 Sqdn.
Age: 23
Date of Death: 06/09/1943
Service No: 913467
Additional information: Son of Charles and Nellie May Kearnes, of Ilford, Essex. 
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: Coll. grave 21.A. 1-4.

The site also has details of how you can find out more. I think there will almost certainly be a fair amount of records at the National Archives for you to find as well, although wait for someone to confirm that for you.
