Warmth Hindered By Heavy Clothes
Two scientists on board H.M.S. Vengeance, Dr Cyril Wyndham, of Oxford, and W. G. Wilson-Dickson, of Gosport found that in ten degrees of frost it was warmer running around the flight deck in their underclothes, than fully clad. They ran one and a quarter miles with heavy clothes on, then the same distance wearing only underwear, to prove their idea that the'body will not get cold if it is sufficiently exercised. The temperatures went from 101 degrees Fahrenheit clad, to 102 degrees almost naked. The light fleet cruiser Vengeance is one of a number of Royal Navy ships cruising in the Arctic for equipment tests.
