pyestock

A little footnote from earlier in the year I never got around to uploading it would seem. I was in the area delivering something for work so thought I'd pay a visit here, the part of Pyestock that everyone overlooked back in the day - and for good reason because why would you bother with this...

I won't bother with the history as you've all seen it before, but a couple of weeks ago I went to what's left of Pyestock.- the Anechoic Chamber With the diggers waiting outside I would imagine this last building standing is now nearly gone too. Wasn't actually optimistic on getting in and had...

Pyestock National Gas Turbine Establishment, part of the Royal Aircraft Establishment was the site of the design and development of gas turbine and jet engines. Construction on Pyestock started in 1949, with further construction in the 60’s. The site was said to be the largest of its kind in the...

Text stolen from my blog. Pyestock. A name that still echoes with many explorers. It was over ten years ago that we first visited and it was during our penultimate visit that we sat atop the Bramshott cooling towers at night looking towards the then still-in-use Noise Test facility, wondering...

So i started writing this a few months ago but ran out of time. In the current situation time is hardly a constraint for alot of us tho so i thought id make the effort to finish. Maybe some of you are in the same boat and can take the time to do some decent reports too. I know theres alot out...

How much of Pyestock is still standing. Is it still worth a visit or had it all been flattened?

This had been on my wish-list for a while due to the unusual nature of the building. The lack of sound inside was rather special. Quite tricky to photograph. Evidences of some demo work. Def worth going if you are nearby. It's a total walk-in. Trying my best here to do a few different angles but...

"Everyone needs a good slice of Pyestock"... And I couldn't agree more! For a good few weeks, @Olkka and I had been planning something on a miniature road trip to Pyestock, and with a somewhat considerable amount of chopping and changing to our provisional dates, we finally followed through...

Decided to pay this a visit as heard it's soon to be demolished and the large blue air intake boxes had already been removed. Was fairly easy to access, couple of fences to go over and a little climb and we were in, was such a weird experience being inside there definitely never had an explore...

More pics I've never bothered posting. As much as I loved visiting this place, I found it was a total cunt to shoot with those fucking horrendous lights on. Much happier with the ones I lit myself! Visited with @Grom and prettyvacant71. Such a good day out! Grom did an urbex poo in a bucket of...

History The National Gas Turbine Establishment, part of the royal aircraft establishment was the prime site in the UK for design and development of gas turbine and jet engines. It was created by merging the design teams of Frank Whittle's Power Jets and the RAE turbine development team run by...

Didn't get the oppurtunity to get the tripod out so only took a couple of photos, I consider this more an update than a report... History For over fifty years, Pyestock was host to the development and testing of gas turbine engines. From the 1950s through to the 1970s, it was the largest...

For those lucky enough to have experienced Pyestock in its entirely before its demolition, I am unbelievably jealous. For me, I was two years too late and missed it completely. However as some of you know, there is one bit of Pyestock that still remains, the Anechoic Noise testing Chamber. It's...

If this was a normal industrial location I generally wouldn't put up something this far gone from my American trips - it's not epics all the time as I'm sure you're all aware, I have seen some pretty run-of-the-mill stuff much like things are over here but, anyway I digress. NAWCAD, or to give...

The last piece of Pye. I’m sure everyone who visited Pyestock before it was demolished will remember the Anechoic Facility, that one last bit of the puzzle that couldn’t be visited. The blue-tailed building was still in use long after the demolition of the rest of the site, and is the only...

Well, I'm probably a bit late in posting this, but I was going through my old shots and thought good old Pyestock was worthy of another report with some of the classic shots. These took a bit of editing, all taken with a basic camera that I didn't really know how to use properly at the time...

The National Gas Turbine Establishment (NGTE Pyestock) in Fleet, part of the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), was the prime site in the UK for design and development of gas turbine and jet engines. It was created by merging the design teams of Frank Whittle's Power Jets and the RAE turbine...

It was time for my 1st visit to Pyestock before it was all to late. I shall not bother with the History as it may have been done once or twice before. A nice 4 am start with our driver and we were of to pick up Darbians, got to the site about half 7 and then off we went. Necking a gallon of...

Hey guys, Me and a friend are going to be making a trip to pyestock [SOMETIME] pm me if you are interested we will be going in under the cover of darkness, and yes im aware of the current demo team on the site but still many building remain intact.

This is a report in two halves, my first explore of the mighty Pyestock and sadly an update on the demolition. For those of you annoyed by the demo updates, please ignore the 2nd half. I'll skip over the history as this is well known and covered in many previous reports. This site has...
