Hi
i came to visit your museum a few weeks ago and spoke to a mister Dave Bye RN, about some information regarding a sub mariner.
he kindley gave me his address where to send this information to. unfortunately I have mislayed it he can contact me on 0208 902 8022 or on the E mail address supplied, just in case Captainmroe@aol.com
After the 23rd of July I will have moved to Leicester. If I havent heard from him by then I will try and contct him again in a few weeks after the move.
Thank you for all you hard work that you do for your little museum
