Porton Down Cold War Public Area Germ Warfare Experiments

icewhale | 05.11.2006 16:07 | Analysis | Cambridge | Oxford

During 1963 and 1964 CDEE Porton Down conducted experiments which involved the release of massive aerosols of zinc cadmium sulphide particles over Norfolk, with the city of Norwich as the main target. Newly discovered Porton documents have revealed that similar series of circa 40 experiments, were also conducted over Bedfordshire during 1963.

On Monday 6 November, at 19:30, BBC1 (East) are broadcasting a special edition of their series - Inside Out.

Instead of containing the usual 3 story programme, this special edition, “Clouds of Secrecy”, concerns just one subject - Cold War public area Biological Warfare experiments, which were conducted by CDEE Porton Down scientists in the BBC East region.

Obviously, this programme will investigate the 1963-64 Norfolk BW experiments, which involved off-target attacks of the city of Norwich, and the surrounding countryside, with large aerosols of a Cadmium compound - Zinc Cadmium sulphide.

It will also tell the story of the newly discovered series of circa 40 BW experiments which were conducted over Bedfordshire during 1963, with Cardington as the target.

If you live outside of the BBC East region, you may still be able to view the programme as long as you have access to Sky TV. BBC1 (East) can be found on Sky channel 981.

It will be worth viewing.
