Report - Anechoic Chamber, Pyestock, Fleet - December 2019

[zombizza]

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 it really is a one shot wonder.

has anyone been in the control block? guessing its modern and crap but always wondered.

 

[zombizza]

We covered everything that was still there within that block. Maybe it's gone. Andyk post had a control room of sorts I believe

 

[SoutheasternExplorer]

Amazing, might have to visit soon! Hopefully it'll stay standing for another few weeks

 

[zombizza]

Yes, looking at AndyK post, the modern control room was in that little adjoining block. There was nothing in there when I visited - stripped out

 

[Calamity Jane]

Never tire of seeing this. Its a bit special, even though its getting stripped. Nice one

Decent report this and great pics of the inside I struggled getting any worth posting in there. Such a surreal experience we went on a day with howling wind and bad weather, couldn’t hear a sound. Shame the blue exhaust part has gone, very unique explore though

To say this place is otherwordly is an understatement. Excuse me if I'm being a bit special, but what exactly was it used for testing on back in the day?
