    Hi,
    I am trying to fill in gaps in my family tree especially World War 2 details.
    My uncle was Dennis Taylor, and he was I think a bomber navigator, but I have no more details.
    He was an early member of the Guinea Pig Club at East Grinstead, where he was affectionately known as "Tubby".
    Can anyone help please.
    Regards, zilkens.

    Tricky one this, as I don't think the GPC has a website, just a couple of months ago they had their 66th and final reunion. The QVH is still there though and is one of the few hospitals I know of with a museum. You should be able to wrangle a contact to the museum via the hospital.

    Edited to add... if you're in the UK possibly try phoning Bob Marchant on 01342 326141, he was at one time the curator. Can't confirm if he still is.
