I know personally one person who was stationed
on a island near to Christmas Island,

the only thing he has mentioned was that when the
blast went off he had to turn his back and put a card/hands over his face but he could still see the blast.

I dont know if I have described this well, but he
has only mentioned it once.

I have not named him for privacy issues.

Hi all.   I was on HMS Warrior from Feb-Oct 57 for the Grapple Nuclear Tests as an aircraft electrician and a number of ex Warriors and other service has crossed the bar with various nuclear related illnesses.  I now administrate an association for ex Warriors and Narvik also have one run by a couple in Peterborough.  There is also a website of interest at

www.christmas-island.org

give it look.   The BNTV are a good organisation in seeking compensation for those that have died and have illnesses, its worth contacting.

I would like to hear from any ex Warriors
