A few photos

The photobucket page below (sorry haven’t worked out how to past a hyperlink yet!) shows a few photos from an hour or so I spent wandering around the old Farnborough Wind Tunnel area one sunny Sunday afternoon last summer.

Despite the encroachment of new development, the area is so atmospheric, well worth a wander, even on days when the tunnels are not open to visitors. Its just a shame so little of the former RAe remains. Still, at least the tunnels were saved!

Park outside the hotel/pub/coffee bar/gym complex just round the corner from the skeleton of the old demountable airship hangar and its a minute’s walk through to the heart of the wind tunnel area.

I too will be watching out for tunnel open days Tony… I assume FAST will carry details on their webpage? Luckily I have family in the area so they will give me the “nod” if they see anything in local media.

P.S. Looks like I did post as a hyperlink – more by luck than judgement!
