Where exactly are Farnborough Wind Tunnels?

[elsiegee40]

Please can anyone tell me whether it is sensible to travel there by train, or do you need a car?

 

My google/google maps mojo isn't working and I'm going there next week.

 

Ta!

 

 

EDIT

 

The FAST web page is useless. it tells you where the museum is and that the tunnels aren't at the museum, but doesn't tell you where the tunnels are.

In the middle of the Farnborough's historic aviation site, now Farnborough Business Park, there are three listed buildings which are historically important in themselves but equally importantly, they contain five windtunnels, all of which played a central role in the development of aviation in Britain.

 

The page does say where they are.

I still can't get a close enough fix to be certain the train's a sensible idea. It's a big area. I'll keep scouring the maps.

It's next to the airport:

 

Farnborough, Hampshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Now called IQ Farnborough and not Farnborough Business Park
