Post Decompression experience?

I have heard there is a "high altitude course" run by the RAF and that this is available to paying punters. This involves losing conciousness in a decompression chamber, and all that. Possibly done at RAF Church Fenton. Can anyone enlighten me further?

It was North Luffenham but has since moved. Just remember guiness and curry are essential the night before. But you've got to ask yourslf why you'd want to go through this if you don't have to?

Sounds like teh sort of thing Institute of Aero Medicine would be responsible for. Think they are still based out of Farnboro.. .. .The Yanks offer a course on the effects of hypoxia in Oklahoma City. The Canadians (I think) may still have a facility in Toronto.. .. .Suggest that you search the web using appropriate key words or try the medical forum of PPRune rather than wannabees.
