Chevaline Polaris Boost Propulsion System.
YouTube have a zoom video made by members of the British Interplanetary Society and this makes good mention of the significant Dowty Boulton Paul input to the project.
Known at the time as the BAJ (Bristol Aerojet Project).
YouTube…..BIS West Midlands Chevaline Polaris Boost Propulsion System.
At the time secret…Now declassified.
Thank you Martin for the update and detailed information… date now corrected
Bristol Aerojet project.
c.1983 not 1970, this facility was built later for the production assembly and test of Chevaline components.
The TV/CRT is showing a contamination slide sample taken from an individual Chevaline component.
This slide looks a bit too contaminated for production acceptance of the component.
