The Motion Sickness Desensitisation Programme is still available using the Aviation Medicine Flight Hawks at Boscombe Down. Clinical supervision of the Programme is maintained by Av Med Specialists but much of the flying is conducted by an RAF GD pilot, as well as the US Exchange Flight Surgeon/Pilot.

However, the days of 4-6 folk on the Programme at any one time are long gone, it is a rare event these days for anyone to be referred.

As you say, it was a key Programme in its time, very high success rate and many senior and/or very capable aircrew owe their careers to the dedicated staffs that supported the Programme.
