  • The Rocket Propulsion Establishment at Westcott, Buckinghamshire on the site of the former RAF Westcott has made a number of notable contributions in the field of rocket propulsion, including input on the rocket design for the Blue Streak missile and the propulsion systems on Chevaline. It was also known as the Guided Projectiles Establishment and PERME Westcott (Propellants, Explosives and Rocket Motor Establishment, Westcott). For many years this establishment was regarded as so secret that it was not marked on Ordnance Survey maps, although it was present, from necessity, on maps for the use of pilots. (en)
  • O Rocket Propulsion Establishment (RPE), foi um centro de pesquisas de propulsão aeroespacial, localizado em Westcott, Buckinghamshire. Originalmente, aquela área era um campo de aviação da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este centro de pesquisas fez muitas contribuições importantes na área de propulsão de foguetes, tais como: o míssil Blue Streak e o projeto . Este centro foi conhecido também como: Guided Projectiles Establishment e PERME Westcott (Propellants, Explosives and Rocket Motor Establishment, Westcott). Criado em 1946 pelo Ministry of Supply, responsável pelo abastecimento das três forças armadas britânicas. Nos primeiros anos, cientistas alemães trabalharam lá e exemplares de armas alemãs foram estudados, incluindo: a V-1; a V-2; o avião foguete Messerschmitt Me 163; o míssil Wasserfall, entre outros.A sua intenção na época era concentrar e desenvolver todo o conhecimento e tecnologias associadas a armas guiadas e sistemas de propulsão necessários ao Exércitoe a Marinha britânicos. Durante as décadas de 50 e 60, o RPE se concentrou no projeto e desenvolvimento de motores de foguete, e foi responsável pela maioria dos motores usadospelos mísseis guiados e foguetes de sondagem britânicos. Em 1984, esses projetos foram repassados ao Royal Aircraft Establishment, sob o controle do , e em 1987, passou ao setor privado coma British Aerospace. (pt)
