    I have to confess, I have only just discovered this building - I was just wondering how exactly it worked and what medium/material Swindon used in the process?

    Seem to remember reading somewhere that cyanide was quite a favourite for such processes.

    OMG! Are you serious? The building is essentially a long tube which appears to be sealed/pressurised, I wonder how the process worked...

    Incredible! Thanks for that....

    Mind, I've known a couple of support coaches that would have benefited from a trip through that!

    It depends what you destroy the vacuum with. If you use a gas mixture, this will get everywhere very quickly. Something like camphor, etc.
