    One extremely foggy, not to mention cold day at Pyestock, which was the place where they tested the first Jet Engines ever. It's a seriously huge site consisting of Test Cells, it's own small transformer station, offices and other buildings used for running the tests such as a hall filled with nothing but giant air compressors.

    This is the room in which all the engines for the Concord Supersonic Jets were tested, the building cost £93million.

    nice dude! Great location and great pics. That fog really makes the outdoor shots. I wish I knew of a place like that around here. Very cool.

    No, im not anymore, i was posting that when i was fairly tired. But it was certainly very important in the development and implementation of very early gas turbine engines, amongst the first at any rate. Thanks for the comments too.
