Building R133 [Transonic wind tunnel] at former Royal Aircraft Establishment site, O'Gorman Avenue, Farnborough - Rushmoor
Wind tunnel built in 1939 and modified in 1956. Externally the building is generally in good condition and actively maintained but some staining of concrete walls due to corroding reinforcement. Tours are given by appointment, but the future use of the building remains uncertain. Study exploring Farnborough's aviation heritage being commissioned from consultants.
