Thanks for confirming about those DCIs in the 70's Handysnaks, I thought my memory was playing up as I recall them too.
I was a bit taken aback by the recent reporting that stated that nobody had been asked to volunteer to undertake trials at Porton after 1960-something, as I was sure volunteers were still being used right up until the 1980's. I have to admit to being tempted as an impecunious youth, as I seem to remember you got extra leave and a payment for doing it. I'm also pretty sure that the DCI didn't state what it was you were volunteering for; it was a colleague who told me is was "common cold research".
