OTD 1963, the Admiralty ship ETV ICEWHALE sailed from Portland Naval Base to nearby Weymouth Bay.
At 18.20 ICEWHALE sailed a straight-line track across Weymouth Bay, covertly spraying massive amounts of two types of live bacteria - E.coli MRE162 & Bacillus globigii spores.

Let’s see if the TikTok trend of displaying flowers, ornaments and framed photographs of loved ones alongside the sausages — or even channelling ‘The Lord of the Rings’ in the veg section — can lift the mood

E.coli MRE162 can cause infections of the chest & blood and Bacillus globigii is a known cause of food poisoning. Porton recognise that it's capable of causing disease in immunocompromised persons.

The roads and cycle paths were left to rot so its a dodgy cycle now.

#ColdWar #PortonDown When the massive bacterial cloud reached land, the wind strength decreased and almost vanished.
The bacterial cloud remained over the sampling areas for many hours.
This led to the target area and its inhabitants being contaminated for a longer time than expected.
