Recently declassified documents show that international scientists and the RAF were working on Operation Cumulus at the same time; one pilot said he was spraying salt in the hope of starting a downpour. The military were interested in rainmaking to aid "bogging down enemy movement" and spread radioactive contamination over a wide area. * RAF rainmakers 'caused 1952 flood' http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,544196,00.html ===== "We're all downwinders!"
