Building Q121 [24 foot wind tunnel] at former Royal Aircraft Establishment site, Hall Road, Farnborough - Rushmoor
Wind tunnel built 1934-35. The external fabric of the building is generally in good condition and actively maintained. Tours are given by arrangement and low-key use for art exhibitions has been permitted (in association with the Farnborough Air Show) However the future use of the building remains uncertain, which is the reason for the at-risk status. Study exploring Farnborough's aviation heritage being commissioned from consultants.
