PS: I called this into the Northern Scot office this morning. my friend is not working today, pointed to this thread and they took notes but confirmed, there have been no such issues reported as regards the OP's claims at Kinloss at this time.

LOL.

It actually made North Tonight (our local TV news on ITV) last night as a third or fourth story, only now there is supposed to be mustard gas dumped there too Next week it will be anthrax too no doubt.

They even interviewed an ex Nimrod captain from nearby Forres who served at Kinloss most of his career and its all news to him ... I still maintain slow news day for the paper that released it and a storm in a tea cup, however the MoD have agreed to investigate it, so that's another waste of tax payers money right there, nobody from the area seems to be having any ill effects from long term living in the area, even the nearby hippy commune and if burying of those dials with minuscule glow in the dark marker points radioactivity did happen, then I'll wager it happened on nearly all UK RAF bases too.

The Army are due to start moving in to (ex) RAF Kinloss next month I think it is, no doubt this story will fizzle and die shortly, certainly its got nothing on colossal amounts of radio active material / nuclear waste that was dumped all over Scotland from all parts of the UK for decades ... no one gave a damn about that.

sure sure Katana..next you will be trying to cover up ........

I'm not trying to cover anything up mate, no doubt those minuscule amounts were buried there, but my point all along was, lets get a grip, the amounts were probably harmless, we had wrist watches like those dials years ago and nobody worried, but there is a certain amount of paranoia about any kind of radioactivity and its waste, its something we are going to have to get used to overcome the energy crisis in the UK, saw on the national news last night that some nuclear power plants that were due to close soon are now not going to, we really need to build more of them to be honest, our gas fields wont last forever and it seems like every other week in the UK we are told gas and electric bills are due to rise again, and its always like 12%, 25% and so on.

We've all learned lessons from Chernobyl and building nuclear power plants in earhtquake hazard zones as in Japan, we are decades on from that and must be able to build safer with better redundancy, lets not forget 99% of all nuclear power reactors have worked faultlessly in country's with high safety standards since they were built ... lets not forget too that the source of power for the whole planet since its beginning (The sun) is one massive nuclear furnace.

I'd go as far as to say the widespread dumping of Asbestos was and is more of a threat than the tiny amounts of radio active material used on old glow in the dark aviation instruments that must originate from the bases WW2 history? The Nimrods and even the Shackletons from as far as back as 1970's never used these, so it must be from the wartime Lancasters. Wimpeys and other aircraft that were based there.
