Chalgrove Airfield was opened in 1943 and was used by the RAF and the United States Army Air Force (AAF-465) – during WWII, it was used primarily as a combat reconnaissance airfield.
The Pyrotechnic devices for Martin-Baker were originally manufactured at Denham, but were transferred to Chalgrove in 1986, after a purpose-built factory was established.
We’re in the process of changing the Chalgrove site to incorporate both the UK ER2014 (Amendment) 2016 Regulations and also the US Regulations DOD4145.26-M. As per these regulations, site plans are available on-site for viewing by the designated DCMA Safety Officer.
