This post is part of a series that addresses the background facts of living in the 1940s especially as it applies to the various experiments that were taking place at that time. Between us, we have been able to bring together what at first appeared to be scraps of unrelated information. What we now have is a far clearer picture of what went on and how they may have contributed to the finding of the body of a man on Somerton Beach.

There is another post on this subject in the next day or so, it provides documentary evidence of the planning that took place and which organisations were involved.
