Ken McGinley from Johnstone ran a campaign in the '80s and '90s for compensation from the MOD to no avail. Another British establishment cover up . These guys were lab rats, so many suffered along with the locals at Christmas Island and elsewhere.
There's a programme on BBC2 tonight at 9pm called Britain's Nuclear Bom Scandal about soldiers in the 60s being guinea pigs. Absolutely horrific. They were only 9 miles from the explosion.
