A friend of mine told ne how, when he was in the RAF in the 1950s he went
with a group of men to Porton Down where they were taken into a room and
exposed to a minute quantity od 'nerve gas'. They felt various effects from
tingling in the fingers to nausea.
He has always held the opinion that, in the event of any srious effects
from taking part in these tests, it would not be worth attempting to get
any sort of redress from Porton Down or the MoD.
I might just print out David's message, with the statistics and show it to
him .
I don't think he realises just how many of them there were back then.
He only mentioned it because I was saying how Porton Down, Harwell and
Gruinard.I. are no longer on any maps.(This was 20 years ago.)
He described where Porton Down was and it agreed with what I knew. What he
told me and what i didn't know, was just how big Porton Down was. The
original village is dwarfed by the complex around them and, he said, it
has a large railway station, or had in the 1950s.
From items on TV, including interviews with the current boss of PD, it is
even bigger now. Our government says it no longer produces new weapons and
our government never lies, so it must be heavily into prophylactic
research. 73. Ian.
