As a local( well of 7 years) its excellent that something has been preserved. Sadly I witnessed during 2000-2001 once familiar buildings dissapearing on a almost daily basis . First the old RAE main office block, through the awfully 60's naval building, the gym and finally the tower. Whats left is the wind tunnel and whats left of the original RAF( thats factory) buildings. Sadly these are off limits at the moment. The owners of the undeveloped( and whats been built is empty) office park, Slough Estates, have the whole site under close scrutiny. Hopefully in the not too distant future it will be restored to its former glory? And the last Black Shed will contain the FAST aircraft collection?
