"One former soldier who underwent a Sarin test in 1983 alleges that Government scientists assured him that there had never been problems with the nerve agent during previous experiments. You kept yourself to yourself. 'By the time he reached the unit, it had been cleared of other casualties and there were men in white coats standing around a bed.For 50 years, Thornhill found it difficult to stop wondering who the dying man was. "Maddison, from Consett, Co Durham, was aged 20 when he collapsed and died in 1953 after liquid nerve gas was deliberately dripped on to his arm by scientists at the chemical warfare establishment at Porton Down, Wiltshire.The hearing was told how at 10.17am on the morning of May 6 1953, Porton scientists had applied the liquid nerve gas on to the arms of Maddison and five others in a sealed gas chamber. The next day Thornhill was 'devastated' when he was told by a medical officer that the young man had died. An even more severe reaction occurred on 27 April when one of six volunteers, a man named Kelly, was exposed to 300 milligrams of sarin and fell into a coma but subsequently recovered. Tue 16 Nov 2004 18.57 EST. In those days you trusted the authorities and didn't ask too many questions. 1 The first organized testing of Sarin on humans began in October 1951 at Porton Down in Wiltshire, Britain’s biochemical warfare establishment since the First World War. Für Angreifer ist das praktisch, weil sie mit den Zutaten der Chemiewaffe leichter hantieren können.
He says he was not told that Ronald Maddison, an airman, died minutes after being tested with Sarin in 1953. 'It was like he was being electrocuted, his whole body was convulsing. "I had tunnel vision, and felt sick. Porton Down, founded in 1916, is the oldest chemical warfare research installation in the world. Thornhill was asked to drive the body to the mortuary at Salisbury General Hospital and instructed to take the back roads.Thornhill was told to carry Maddison over and it was then that the young ambulance driver saw a second image that would haunt him for decades.Thornhill telephoned the Wiltshire police who were conducting the inquiry and a team travelled to Manchester the next day to interview him. It was the size of a bicycle pump and went down onto the lad's body. Porton Down - also known as the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory - is where much of our top-secret military research is concentrated. Servicemen were experimented on with Sarin, the deadly nerve gas, as late as 1983 at the Government's defence research centre at Porton Down, documents seen by The Telegraph reveal.

It has also conceded that "nerve agent trials" took place until 1988, but has refused to say whether Sarin was involved.He was led into a chamber and told to walk around while the gas was administered. Nur ein Ganzkörperanzug mit Atemmaske schützt vor den tödlichen Effekten. They were beyond the bounds of what was ethically permissible despite the imperative of the cold war. Auch ein Enzym des Mittelmeer-Tintenfischs Loligo vulgaris wurde getestet.Doch dass sich die Substanz auch als chemischer Kampfstoff einsetzen ließ, passte der NS-Führung ausgesprochen gut ins Konzept. Porton Down was set up to provide a proper scientific basis for the British use of chemical warfare, in response to the earlier German use of this means of war in 1915. He made me sign something and told me if I ever spoke a word about what I saw at Porton Down I would be sent to prison. Die japanische Aum-Sekte setzte Sarin bei den Attentaten in Matsumoto (1994) und Tokio (1995) ein.
