Question LSD testing ( British troops )

What year is this? I´d guess late 50´s early 60´s but could be totally wrong.

I love that vid Kai, saw it a few years back. The bloke climbing the tree is fantastic, particularly considering one my my mates was found hiding in a tree on exercise once.

It is indeed a classic, though I can't find a solid date on when the testing went on, if I recall it was indeed early 60's.
There was (and likely remains) a strong military interest in such chemical agents as passive weapons. Hard to aim a rifle when your entire unit's either giggling uncontrollably or busy discussing the great unified theory of everything .
