The former Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough has undergone vast regeneration and restoration as part of Slough Estates' outlined £20m plans. For decades the site has been covered by the Official Secrets Act and hidden from public gaze. Now these historic aviation buildings will be opened to the public for the first time with development of a new Grade 1 Listed heritage centre, offices, studio workshops and a café bar.

The RAE was the location for many aeronautical and technical innovations including engine design, performance testing and plane crash investigations. The historic wind tunnels on the site will be externally restored with the intention of being used commercially once again.
