This site is for those interested in the Chilton Monoplane - an aircraft designed over seventy years ago but still an outstanding example of British design expertise where once we led the world.
The Chilton is truly a design classic, designed by two very bright young aeronautical engineers - Reggie Ward & Andrew Dalrymple, though no doubt their De Havilland training had a lot to do with it.
These aircraft were built in a small workshop within the grounds of Chilton Lodge, the stately home of Ward’s parents and from whence the aircraft acquired its name. See the Chilton Estate website :- The Chilton Estate website.
One can only ponder at what might have developed post-war had it not been for the severing of their partnership due to the tragic death of Andrew Dalrymple in the mid-air break-up of a Fieseler Storch aircraft on Christmas Day 1945.
