What was the Uncle Tom bomb. I have a report of it being tested by the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment during WW2

Uncle Tom was a large anti-ship rocket projectile (R.P.)

There are a number of documents at the National Archives relating to it. The attached link appears to contains material from some of those documents.
