Former astronaut-training centrifuge in Farnborough listed for £750,000
A former human centrifuge in Farnborough, England, is listed on RightMove for £750,000. Built in 1955, the white cylindrical building trained pilots and astronauts, including Britain's first astronaut Helen Sharman, to withstand high g-forces. It stopped operating in 2019 and passed to the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust, which announced its closure in August 2024. The listing calls it a unique piece of British aviation history.
