This book has been compiled using information from a significant number of documents and resources; the key open-source documents are listed in the bibliography. Most importantly, I have been able to have access to a significant number of MOD reports, and hence I include much information that has never been published before and ensure that, as far as possible, all the information within this book is correct. A large number of MOD reports used are still classified and, therefore, are not listed in this book. Where open-source literature and Internet sources have been used, information has been checked for coherence with information from official reports. An interesting aspect of compiling this document is to see how in these days of the World Wide Web incorrect facts become widely repeated and quoted on different websites until they are assumed to be right.
Some of the best, and most interesting, inputs have been provided by ex-members of staff who have sent me stories, facts and pictures. It was the staff who made the Chertsey establishment the successful place it was, and so these personal inputs are valued.
This book contains a large number of pictures never before published. Many come from MOD reports and are used with permission, but others have been sent by ex-members of staff, or are pictures from my own collection. Some of the pictures are of poor quality, having been taken from electronic scanned copies of old documents, but these have been included because they are of specific interest.
The resulting document is likely to have many omissions and despite the checks may have some errors. Any additional information or corrections are always welcome.
I am grateful to the Ministry of Defence, and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory in particular, for permission to publish this document and to use information and pictures from MOD sources.
