Farnborough Air Sciences Trust

Farnborough Air Sciences Trust

The Farnborough Air Sciences Trust (FAST) museum holds a collection of aircraft, wind tunnel and Royal Aircraft Establishment related material. It is based in Farnborough, Hampshire immediately adjacent to Farnborough Airfield.

Part of the collection is housed in Trenchard House, which includes a library, an archive, and a store. There are aircraft on display, some of which have had significant design and/or development contribution from Farnborough.

A collection of wind tunnel models is held in storage, along with documentation and historical records of engineering and technical development. There is also a large collection of plans and drawings relating to the Farnborough and Pyestock sites.

The museum is managed by the trustees of FAST while day to day running is carried out by volunteers of the FAST Association
