NGTE Pyestock, first visit 2007
This former Jet Engine Test facility is situated in Farnborough, Hants.Sir Frank Whittle was one of the founders of this facility forming a company called Power Jets,which naturally developed jet propulsion..Pyestock underwent many transformations through the decades incorporating Cell 4 which was used to test Concorde`s Olympas engines.Cell 3 West could be used to house a working helicopter,minus rotors of course..various conditions were simulated to push the engines to their limits.I visited first on 1st April 2007,and have been hooked ever since!
