This place needs no introduction. I was very pleased to finally get my backside here after 3 years of looking at pics on the net, and the place did not disappoint.

One of the largest hosts to the development and testing of gas turbine engines, Pyestock stands proud for over 50 years in Surry in the UK. Pyestock had a huge part to play in the jet age through designing, testing and carrying out experimentation on Concord engines, Royal navy gas turbines and...
