Operation Grapple
« on: Thursday 04 February 10 19:10 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone supply me with some information on Operation Grapple which
took place on Easter Island in the 1950's, culminating in the testing of the H bomb.
Many thanks,
Ian

You probably need to be a bit more specific with your request, a search on Google will most probably tell you all you need. I have a lot of info regarding New Zealands involvement and some of that can be found here.
