The History Hour on BBC World Service

[Howard of Effingham]

this episode of the history hour is interesting but the section on the chemical warfare trials at porton down in the 1950s is disturbing listening.

I bring it to everyones attention as the whole subject of NBC defence and related items have been a personal interest for many years.

the episode is about VE-Day and the item on porton down is about 23 minutes into the hour long programme.
