Hello Irish The article in the Mail on Sunday said that a top London law firm is taking on the case of the veterans.Evidence uncovered in New Zealand now shows that  a test on fifty veterans has shown that their chromosomes and genetic make up has been altered as a result of these nuclear tests and that the claim against the MoD is that they were used as human guinea pigs.As well as the British and New Zealanders there are also Fijians involved.The writ against the MoD will claim that the Ministry knew or should have known the potnntially damaging effects of exposure to ionising radiation and that they the MoD failed to consider the health, safety and wellbeing of these servicemen.

These veterans have not been treated well over the years
so lets hope that they have justice soon

Thanks for that Irish

Hello Irish My husband was on HMS Warrior which was out there at the same time as the Narvik.Warrior also has a website atwww.hmswarrior.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
Its also worth joining the BNTVA as they sometimes print
letters and photographs sent in by members who were on HMS Narvik.My husband thinks that either the chairman or a member of the committee of the BNTVA was on the Narvik.
Since the 1960s my husband has not enjoyed good health but things have become chronic during the last five years.
New Zealand television have made a documentry about their sailors who were on the some trials.Real eyeopener.
Also thankyou to Graceland who was kind enough to let me know about this discussion Regards Tralee
