Men who converted nuclear bunker into cannabis farm jailed. Three men have been jailed for turning an underground nuclear bunker designed for Army VIPs into the 'largest cannabis factory to be found in the south of England'.

Martin Fillery, 4. Plamen Nguyen, 2. FR-EE Crazy Love Full Movie. Ross Winter, 3. 1, were sentenced at Salisbury Crown Court after admitting conspiracy to produce class B drugs and abstracting electricity.

The underground facility had been sold by the Ministry of Defence to a private owner, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was then sold on again before being leased to Fillery in 2. TV memorabilia including model Daleks and cars.

The 4. 6- year- old would go on to nurture a huge cannabis farm inside the facility, for which he was jailed for eight years in prison. Charles Thomas, prosecuting, said the farm at the RGHQ (Regional General Headquarters) Chilmark, Wiltshire, was capable of producing £2 million worth of cannabis each year. He said: 'This case concerns what had originally been built and designed as a nuclear bunker to be used by important personnel coming from the Army headquarters in the event of a nuclear war. Police were tipped off by a delivery driver who reported a cannabis smell at the site and officers carried out three periods of CCTV surveillance before raiding the bunker'In the 1. Sentencing them, Judge Keith Cutler said: 'Each of you has played a part in what amounts to one of the most serious crimes that this area has seen for a long while.'Chilmark is essentially an English village, picture book beauty. It's also the spiritual home for Wiltshire as Salisbury Cathedral is built from Chilmark stone.'In return you in your own way have decided to use this large nuclear bunker to carry out the production on an industrial scale of cannabis.'Fillery was jailed for a total of eight years while Winter and Nguyen were each given five years in prison. Mr Thomas explained that Fillery, who had previously written a screenplay about cannabis production, leased the remote building in 2. TV memorabilia including model Daleks and cars. Officers found 4,4.

Electricity stolen from a nearby pylon used to power the growing lights and other equipment had an estimated maximum value of £6. He said that police were tipped off by a delivery driver who reported a cannabis smell at the site and officers carried out three periods of CCTV surveillance before raiding the bunker in February 2. They found 4,4. 25 plants at all stages of production as well as 6,5. Mr Thomas said that about 2. That puts the enterprise in category A of the guidelines as a production of cannabis on an industrial scale,' he said.'Chilmark is essentially an English village, picture book beauty. It's also the spiritual home for Wiltshire as Salisbury Cathedral is built from Chilmark stone,' said Judge Keith Cutler'That puts the enterprise in category A of the guidelines as a production of cannabis on an industrial scale,' said Mr Thomas.

As well as the equipment used to grow the cannabis, which would have cost £1. Vietnamese men who were employed as gardeners. Police had initially considered whether modern slavery offences had been committed but they could not prove that the gardeners were being held against their will, Mr Thomas explained. He added that three of them had since been deported and the fourth case was under appeal. He said the electricity stolen from a nearby pylon used to power the growing lights and other equipment had an estimated maximum value of £6. Fillery, of Ashcott, Bridgwater, Somerset, was also sentenced for possessing criminal property after police found movie memorabilia worth £1 million at his home. Officers also found receipts for diamonds worth £3,0.

Hugo Boss clothing at Winter's home. Mr Thomas said that Fillery had a 'leading role' in the operation which is believed to have begun in May 2. Winter, of Maytree Avenue, Bristol, provided transport and Nguyen, of Horfield, Bristol, was a liaison for the gardeners. Tana Adkin QC, defending Fillery, said he became involved in the production of cannabis after researching a screenplay he was writing on the subject. Tana Adkin QC, defending Fillery, who has no previous convictions, said he was not in charge of the operation but had leased the bunker and had a 'leading role' in the operation.

She said: 'He is a man who previously was involved in dealing with television and movie memorabilia.'He had a great interest in literature and movies and TV of all description, he had been interviewed on the television previously and had a great deal of knowledge and expertise in that field and began to deal in that field of memorabilia using various online websites and making something of a living.'She said he became involved in the production of cannabis after researching a screenplay he was writing on the subject. Edward Hetherington, defending Winter, who has a previous conviction for producing cannabis, said his role had been as a driver who was paid for his services. He said that Winter, a motor mechanic, had become a father for the first time while in custody awaiting sentence and added: 'The sense of regret he feels at being absent from her birth is impossible to express.'The trio were sentenced at Salisbury Crown Court after admitting conspiracy to produce class B drugs and abstracting electricity.

He is a man who has led a law- abiding life and finds himself missing out on raising his child.'Speaking after the hearing, Detective Inspector Simon Pope, of Wiltshire Police, said: 'I am very pleased with the sentences handed out today.'It sends a clear message to the public that the production of cannabis is an incredibly serious offence and it's been acknowledged the three defendants played a significant role within this criminal conspiracy.'The operation is one of the largest that Wiltshire Police have come across. This was a significant undertaking for our force and I am glad that all the hard work by all those involved has contributed to taking a large quantity of harmful drugs off our streets.'The bunker at RGHQ Chilmark was constructed in the 1.

Manhattan Project - Wikipedia. The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons. It was led by the United States with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada. From 1. 94. 2 to 1. Major General. Leslie Groves of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.

After all, the media does not want to appear too biased in.

Nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the actual bombs. The Army component of the project was designated the Manhattan District; "Manhattan" gradually superseded the official codename, Development of Substitute Materials, for the entire project.

Along the way, the project absorbed its earlier British counterpart, Tube Alloys. The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1. US $2 billion (about $2.

Over 9. 0% of the cost was for building factories and to produce fissile material, with less than 1. Research and production took place at more than 3. United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

Two types of atomic bombs were developed concurrently during the war: a relatively simple gun- type fission weapon and a more complex implosion- type nuclear weapon. The Thin Man gun- type design proved impractical to use with plutonium so a simpler gun- type called Little Boy was developed that used uranium- 2. Chemically identical to the most common isotope, uranium- 2. Three methods were employed for uranium enrichment: electromagnetic, gaseous and thermal.

Most of this work was performed at the Clinton Engineer Works at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. In parallel with the work on uranium was an effort to produce plutonium.

After the feasibility of the world's first artificial nuclear reactor was demonstrated in Chicago at the Metallurgical Laboratory, it designed the X- 1. Graphite Reactor at Oak Ridge and the production reactors in Hanford, Washington, in which uranium was irradiated and transmuted into plutonium. The plutonium was then chemically separated from the uranium. The Fat Man implosion- type weapon was developed in a concerted design and development effort by the Los Alamos Laboratory. The project was also charged with gathering intelligence on the German nuclear weapon project.

Through Operation Alsos, Manhattan Project personnel served in Europe, sometimes behind enemy lines, where they gathered nuclear materials and documents, and rounded up German scientists. Despite the Manhattan Project's tight security, Soviet atomic spies successfully penetrated the program. The first nuclear device ever detonated was an implosion- type bomb at the Trinity test, conducted at New Mexico's Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range on 1. July 1. 94. 5. Little Boy and Fat Man bombs were used a month later in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. In the immediate postwar years, the Manhattan Project conducted weapons testing at Bikini Atoll as part of Operation Crossroads, developed new weapons, promoted the development of the network of national laboratories, supported medical research into radiology and laid the foundations for the nuclear navy. It maintained control over American atomic weapons research and production until the formation of the United States Atomic Energy Commission in January 1. Origins. The discovery of nuclear fission by German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in 1.

Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch, made the development of an atomic bomb a theoretical possibility. There were fears that a German atomic bomb project would develop one first, especially among scientists who were refugees from Nazi Germany and other fascist countries. In August 1. 93. 9, Hungarian- born physicists Leó Szilárd and Eugene Wigner drafted the Einstein–Szilárd letter, which warned of the potential development of "extremely powerful bombs of a new type". It urged the United States to take steps to acquire stockpiles of uranium ore and accelerate the research of Enrico Fermi and others into nuclear chain reactions. They had it signed by Albert Einstein and delivered to President. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt called on Lyman Briggs of the National Bureau of Standards to head the Advisory Committee on Uranium to investigate the issues raised by the letter.

Briggs held a meeting on 2. October 1. 93. 9, which was attended by Szilárd, Wigner and Edward Teller. The committee reported back to Roosevelt in November that uranium "would provide a possible source of bombs with a destructiveness vastly greater than anything now known."[3]The Advisory Committee on Uranium became the National Defense Research Committee (NDRC) Committee on Uranium when that organization was formed on 2. June 1. 94. 0.[4] Briggs proposed spending $1. On 2. 8 June 1. 94. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8.

Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD),[6] with Vannevar Bush as its director. The office was empowered to engage in large engineering projects in addition to research.[5] The NDRC Committee on Uranium became the S- 1 Section of the OSRD; the word "uranium" was dropped for security reasons.[7]In Britain, Frisch and Rudolf Peierls at the University of Birmingham had made a breakthrough investigating the critical mass of uranium- 2. June 1. 93. 9.[8] Their calculations indicated that it was within an order of magnitude of 1. Their March 1. 94. Frisch–Peierls memorandum initiated the British atomic bomb project and its Maud Committee,[1.

In July 1. 94. 0, Britain had offered to give the United States access to its scientific research, and the Tizard Mission's John Cockcroft briefed American scientists on British developments. He discovered that the American project was smaller than the British, and not as far advanced. As part of the scientific exchange, the Maud Committee's findings were conveyed to the United States. One of its members, the Australian physicist Mark Oliphant, flew to the United States in late August 1. Maud Committee had not reached key American physicists. Oliphant then set out to find out why the committee's findings were apparently being ignored. He met with the Uranium Committee and visited Berkeley, California, where he spoke persuasively to Ernest O.

Lawrence. Lawrence was sufficiently impressed to commence his own research into uranium. He in turn spoke to James B. Conant, Arthur H. Compton and George B.

Pegram. Oliphant's mission was therefore a success; key American physicists were now aware of the potential power of an atomic bomb.[1. On 9 October 1. 94. President Roosevelt approved the atomic program after he convened a meeting with Vannevar Bush and Vice President Henry A.

Wallace. To control the program, he created a Top Policy Group consisting of himself—although he never attended a meeting—Wallace, Bush, Conant, Secretary of War. Henry L. Stimson, and the Chief of Staff of the Army, General. George C. Marshall.

Roosevelt chose the Army to run the project rather than the Navy, because the Army had more experience with management of large- scale construction projects. He also agreed to coordinate the effort with that of the British, and on 1. October he sent a message to Prime Minister Winston Churchill, suggesting that they correspond on atomic matters.[1. Feasibility. Proposals. The S- 1 Committee held its meeting on 1. December 1. 94. 1 "pervaded by an atmosphere of enthusiasm and urgency"[1.
