So, as I got my answer by chance by listening to the Food Programme on Radio 4, lets see if anyone else has ever listened to it.

 

Can you name one of the current regular presenters of the Food Programme?

Well, that's clearly too obscure.

How about any Masterchef presenter instead.

Greg Wallace or John Torrode.

 

Of course - lots more from other places around the world I imagine as well.

 

The Food Programme is presented by Sheila Dillon and Dan Saladino btw. Worth catching if you have any interest in food...

 

Over to you.

Thanks. During COVID there have been so many documentaries on TV and umpteen of them about the various royals.

Correction. It was in 1940. The planned movement of the substance was 1939 but it arrived in 1940.

Something rings a bell about a mission into Scandinavia involving a source of heavy water, I think it was something to do with preventing Germany using it in the development of nuclear weapons. I also recently read a book about the search for superheavy element, and there was a dismantling of Japanese research facilities in the aftermath of World War 2

I am going with deuterium or tritium oxide aka Heavy Water
