Chugalug (#10590),

Our Posts must've "crossed in cyberspace": I would not regard myself as an expert on "Sarin", having never handled the stuff (and wouldn't want to !). All I know is what Wiki tells me.

As for V1s full of Sarin to foil invasion, I think we had the measure of the V1, which started in mid June, 1944, fairly quickly with our new "Meteor". And, didn't it need a "ski jump" built-in to align it with its intended target ? How much room is there on a small island like Alderney to build several of these ? And how hard would it have been for the RAF and USAAC to rub them out, given that we had full air supremacy over the Channel at the time ?

Dunno, and had my hands full 5,000 miles away just then, and a bit of unexpected amorous dalliance on the side to "take my eye off the ball". But that is another story !

Cheers, Danny.
