On the South-East Side of Southampton Eastleigh airport is the remains of a Blade Whirl Test building (for SARO?) which I visited in the 1960's as an Air Cadet. Complete with Throttle Quadrant and safety glass window into the Whirl Test bay.

It is still there and in reasonable nick.

Let's hope that the building is commemorated and preserved.
