Description

Cell 4. Pyestock NGTE

Back in its day this used to be used to test turbines used for supersonic aircraft. More info can be found [link] Its amazing how something so impressive has just been left to rot, and soon to be demolished.
This location was also used in the film "Sahara".

"The National Gas Turbine Establishment (NGTE Pyestock) in Fleet, part of the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), UK was the prime site in the UK for design and development of gas turbine and jet engines. It was created by merging the design teams of Frank Whittle's Power Jets and the RAE turbine development team run by Haine Constant. NGTE spent most of its lifetime as a major testing and development center, both for experimental developments as well as supporting the major commercial engine companies." Wiki
