The Airship Hanger Framework on the former RAE Factory Site

This structure dates from the origins of the British Army Balloon School. It is a framework that formed part of a portable airship hangar which was recovered by Farnborough Air Sciences Trust (FAST). It has been restored and re-erected by Slough Estates as the centrepiece for a major refurbishment of the now disused RAE Factory site. The airship hangar will become a feature in the middle of the business park to commemorate the history of Farnborough Airfield.
