Not only did ICI run Tube Alloys (cover name for the British side of the Manhattan Project during WW11), they also literally went into Germany with the military right after the war and grabbed scientists from universities and laboratories. The following quotes are from an article in the Sydney Morning Herald in 2007:
Responsibility for seizing the scientists fell to a unique British army unit known as T-Force. Formed shortly after D-day, this lightly armed and highly mobile force had raced ahead of Allied troops at the end of the war, seizing objectives which had a scientific or intelligence value before they could be sabotaged by retreating Germans, or captured by the Soviet Union.
. . records show that abductions in the British-controlled zone of postwar Germany were carried out on the orders of an organisation called the British Intelligence Objectives Sub-committee, or BIOS. This committee was answerable to the cabinet and made up of representatives of the armed forces and various British government departments, including the Board of Trade and Ministry of Supply, as well as MI16 – the War Office’s department of scientific intelligence.
The Invasion of the Brain Snatchers Overview – Article Sydney Morning Herald – August 30, 2007 — 10.00am
“These teams would often include representatives of firms such as ICI and Courtaulds, and others from the shipbuilding, steel or aerospace industries, usually wearing British army officers’ uniforms.” . . .See (2)
ICI Activities- Post War
I received an email from someone (3) who’s family was working at ICI during the war explaining her childhood memories of receiving “Jugular Injections” in her neck whilst at the dentist, I investigated further . .
(Sir) John Rodney Quayle
(Sir) John Rodney Quayle was both a member of BIME (Bath Institute of Medical Engineering) and a fellow of Oriel College*. (as mentioned in his obituary in 2006 here) Microbiology Today – Obituaries R. Quayle
Quayle and ICI Teesside
He was involved in setting up a huge fermenter in Teesside in a project that grew a food for animals called PRUTEEN (similar to Quorn), that was supposedly scrapped after spending £100 million on it (which seems hightly unlikely – I suspect it is a cover story)
“Rod was approached by two chemists, P.P. King and D. Watchorn, from the Agricultural Division of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI, at Billingham, Cleveland, UK) who felt that ICI might be interested in the possibility of very large scale microbial conversion of methane to bacterial protein for use as an animal foodstuff. They invited Rod to Billingham where in discussion he persuaded them that methanol would be a far more suitable substrate than methane. P.P. King recalls this “As a Eureka situation” adding that “if there is one thing we can do it is to make methanol out of natural gas very efficiently”.
Out of these beginnings the ICI Pruteen project was born. Within the astonishingly short time of 13 years from the first discussions, the world’s largest fermenter was constructed for the fast-growing Methylophilus methylotrophus, and full production was achieved on Teesside in 1980 (Figure 4). The Pruteen output from the 50m high (1.5 million litre) airlift fermenter was 50,000 metric tons per annum. Sadly this pioneering ICI project costing well in excess of £100 million had to be abandoned due to falling prices of competing products such as soybean protein. Although nutritionally excellent, Pruteen was just too expensive to produce. .”
When I looked into all this further I discovered Quayles work was associated with neurobiology and how the methanol related produce he was studying could create pathways into the brain. These pathways have been since been experimented with for the delivery of certain types of drugs and medications.
Rod’s extraordinarily fruitful exploration of the biochemistry of the highly diverse range of microbes growing on C1 compounds during his time in Oxford and this period in Sheffield led in 1978 to the award of the CIBA Medal and Prize of the Biochemical Society (4), and his election as a Fellow of The Royal Society. If he had ‘merely’ elucidated a single novel pathway for microbial carbon assimilation, that pathway would probably have become the ‘Quayle Cycle’. This could not happen because he had described three novel pathways: the serine cycle, the ribulose monophosphate pathway (and its four variants) and the dihydroxyacetone pathway.

The Billingham Smell
So I am suspicious that there was more going on with what was being released into the air at Billingham than the by product of synthetic animal feed. Quayle was already studying the “Serine Pathway” in the early sixties (http://www.methanotroph.org/wiki/history/) and was aware of the interaction with genes.

When I saw all this I had a hunch . . there had to be a smell at the time they were pumping out these methanols and people talking about it and sure enough I googled “Teesside Smell” and there were newspaper headlines about it at the time. Here it was discussed in parliament in 1964.
https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1964/jul/29/atmospheric-pollution-stockton
. . but it was still being discussed as a problem in 2009

Rats and methanethiol and genetics
There were experiments with rats in respect of genetic effects of these processes – ICI were involved in providing materials for this one for example, in 1979
Inhibition of mitochondrial electron transfer in rats by ethanethiol and methanethiol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/225090/
Another thing I picked up was that sometimes injections in the jugular in rats were to collect blood.
Quayle’s work and biography is covered here
His work relates to neurobiology involving Pyrimidal pathways relating to Qualia or moments of consciousness which have been extensively studied by another BIME chap called Orpwood, here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia#:~:text=In%20philosophy%20and%20certain%20models,instances%20of%20subjective%2C%20conscious%20experience.

Tube Alloys a.k.a UK’s Project Paperclip and Manhattan Project
ICI was virtually running Tube Alloys in that the government asked them to set it up and put an ICI man as the first working director, Wallace Akers
You can trace some more of those involved in Tube Alloys at my mindmap – this is a link to Akers. (I haven’t uploaded the new info about Quayle yet.) https://webbrain.com/brainpage/brain/751A17B2-8524-F06B-8EF8-65BEB60D86AD/thought/191#-782
ICI were also funding child studies – I will be updating the mindmap soon and will send you a link then. I would also like to share some very strong links to Tavistock via a guy called Donald Bumstead brought in by John Harvey Davis to do surveys.
Looks like the secret Tube Alloys cover story applied to both the development and appropriating German technical and weaponry knowhow, but also the programming techniques to continue to be equally secretly developed. . . to build and continue them. I say this because I’ve been reading how T-force soldiers went into universities and kidnapped scientists and doctors to bring back to work in the UK, they wore military uniform. ICI were given places on the team and donned military uniforms. . cathi morgan
British Film Institure Footage of Billingham
From the smoky, industrious Billingham Wharf to a vast new oil production plant, this film documents a brave new world at ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) on Teesside in the 1930s. Fresh from his resignation as Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDonald and some ICI top brass ride an electric buggy to the heart of the giant Oil Works for the official opening ceremony. A slow, stately phantom ride, popular in early cinema, captures the awesome scale of this new chemical town.
From the film notes
ICI at Billingham was already the largest factory in the British Empire by 1930, totalling over 1,000 acres. The new Oil Works expansion was predicated on a future war, built to provide a home-grown source of oil, immune from U-boat attack. In February 1931 Aldous Huxley toured this extraordinary industrial site, a mass of steaming and sizzling steel cylinders, towers and pipes. Huxleys visit to ICI (whose Chairman was Sir Alfred Mond at the time) is thought to have inspired his classic dystopian novel Brave New World, released the next year, in which the character Mustapha Mond is the Resident World Controller for Western Europe.
