ANOTHER EXTRACT FROM ‘ASTHMA ISLAND’ POSTED ON U-TUBE

By Sarah Glass (Tristan Times)

Another extract from the BBC Four film “Asthma Island” has been posted on U-Tube.  This segment deals mainly with Islanders in Southampton at the former RAF base at Calshot, their life in England and curiosity of the people and scientists in Britain that they endured during the two years they were in the UK.

The film introduces (still uncaptioned) Dr Noel Zamelle, who was studying for his PhD in 1961 when he helped to test refugee tristanians in the UK for asthma.  He was going to Tristan 45 years after meeting tristanians in the UK.
