There's some detail of the ordnance shipped out from Cairnryan to be dumped at sea in this account of the military railway built in WW2 to service the port

The Westland Scout helicopter could be fitted with a chemical spray rig consisting of a tank internally mounted and an array under the belly.
I only saw it fitted once and that was at Soest in Germany circa 1975/6.

Mustard gas hawkinge
3 years ago I lived in hawkinge and started to smell a sulpher smell. My face nose and eyes stung like fire sometimes. I sold up and all my symptoms improved 80 percent but feel like my kidneys/liver took damage. My family also suffered unexplained sickness.
Ive just noticed activity at this huge bunker looking thing. They have built a massive barrier/earth pile around it. Do you think some gas muntions has become unstable or been released? Blurry eyes dizziness skin rashes. I even heard passers by mention the same. Ive read about munition storage in hawkinge but no idea about location. This is upwind of hawkinge. What do you think?

I just cant think why you would build a 20foot mud bank around a bunker full of water and work on it for 12 months. I wanted to go and look closer but my little brother used to get really sick when he went near it as a kid. Just coincidence I guess.

Id totally discounted resevoirs because the huge open ones we have were taken out of storage and said to be unecessary (and a terrorist target being open). I guess thats that then. I still might go have a look round. Odd design still
