A new podcast has launched exploring the history and legacy of the Guinea Pig Club, a group of airmen who suffered life-changing burns and injuries during the Second World War.
Since The Guinea Pig Club's founding in 1941, the RAF Benevolent Fund has stood shoulder to shoulder with the airmen who were so badly disfigured during the course of the war, providing welfare and financial assistance when needed.
Crucial to the recovery of many of Sir Archibald McIndoe's Guinea Pigs was the ability to walk freely into the local community without fear.
All at the RAF Benevolent Fund pay tribute to the service and life of the last members of The Guinea Pig Club, Flight Sergeant Sam Gallop and Lieutenant Jan Stangryciuk-Black, who have passed away at the age of 101.
