Exclamation In Defence of Jacko...

Information on nuclear weapons is already in the public domain. For example, the Ombudsman has already forced disclosure of information.
She (the Ombudsman) wrote : "It is therefore difficult to envisage the release of information about events that happened some time ago to weapons that no longer exist could cause harm if made more widely available."
The MOD then disclosed the requested information on nuclear weapons, including several accidents that had occurred on foreign soil, where we had never previously acknowledged the presence of such weapons to the local government.

If you want to know just about anything about our old nukes Google will fetch it for you. Nothing secret about them anymore after the Ombudsman's actions. An initial search gets you the weapon designations then you can mine as deep as you like.

So of course, Jacko could have got all the information he says he needed from Google, without bothering to ask anyone on this forum...
