Wow folks that was an awesome explore, so much of our history is being demolished so it's awesome this part got documented. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖
Great place you get a real sense of the size of that acoustic room when the others guys walk away and you look up. Must have been pretty impressive when in use. Thanks for sharing.
Was lucky enough to explore Pyestock back in the day before it all got demolished. It was such a vast place & I don’t think I will ever find anything that would even come close again... we spent days there and still didn’t see it all & never managed to get to the famous model jet !!
An amazing place this. You guys had it easy - we went on a weeknight and had to crawl through the grass with torch and van lights spooking us! Really cool place and you did well to light it and capture the scale, it's so dark in there!
Yes yes sorry haven't been in touch mate you were in my neck of the woods fleet Hampshire. I work in fleet. Our new van share will be up and running within the next year or so....bloody new houses built in the Pyestock area. Brilliant find hope you both well be nice to meet you one day I remember when you did the Aldershot video. I've stil got my IKS t-shirt
Cool Ive been a sound room like that all black foam at Hewlett And Packard Night quite as big but it was pretty big dark really dark tell your eye adjust i didn't even see the foam walls at first just darkness
Dust? Or asbestos? Not much left but the anechroic chamber...The “pull” handles are in case someone gets left behind during a engine test, shuts it down. Endless ducting for the Venturi effect.
Ian... I live close by this Establishment, grew up with it... Noise that's used to come fromm this place unreal.but to me never annoying. always knew when they were testing, home electrics used to go mad... Was sad to see It go, saddened even more finding out no museum any kind would be laid to commemorate, which let's be honest, was so important to world aviation development
The bridge you across as The beginning of the video was made from wooden pads that they use when they need to put an excavator (digger) into a swampy or marshy area to keep it from sinking.
It's terrible that sites that are so important historically, are simply demolished. They usually lie empty for sometimes decades, before anyone comes up with a viable idea for the site. The UK possibly leads the world in the protection and preservation of historic sites, like Henges, Castles, and Stately Homes. However, on modern historic infrastructure - not so much. And I knew that there was a reason that I only ever wear boots. Red flags behind the fence probably show where anti trespass Thunderflashes are hidden. Or failing that, landmines. Always good for a laugh. 11:00 - Biggest Anechoic chamber I've ever seen. I went into an Anechoic chamber (not this one, which is incredible), years ago, with the door shut. It was unreal. Talking sounded like when you talk, and can hear your own voice with earplugs in. I was also aware of two noises, one low-pitched, the other high, which, as there was zero possible external audio in the chamber, was very weird to me. When I came out, I asked my friend, who was an engineer at the site, what the noises were. He said, quite nonchalantly, that the low pitched sound was my circulatory system, and the high was possibly my nervous system. That freaked me out a bit.
for your information the metal wall panels with hole patterns like 30:00 are all asbestos fire walls if you see this pattern on any site chances are thats what they are
The blue pylone thingies, with black tipps, are for absorbing electro-magnetic radiation, instead of sound, I worked with those, some time ago, in a laboratory, they are bloody expensive. ^^
In space, no one can hear you scream! - In this facility, a security guard could creep up behind you, and you'd never hear him coming! Those extractor fans above the baffles, are almost identical to the ones in our grain dryer. Ours would be a tad smaller, and only two of them. I know you said you'd love to hear them running, but I can honestly assure you, you wouldn't! Another place that would have been interesting to explore, would have been at BAE, Brough, just outside Hull. Now, they had external baffles, and you could hear them test running engines over here, some twenty plus miles away! It's been a long time since that facility went quiet. I can't really say what's still there these days. Anyway, who's been a naughty boy then? - Spoiler alert! Ian obviously survived his accident, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to tell us about it!
Amazing place. So... what does the work of this place now? Have we, as a nation, stopped developing gas turbine engines? I guess Rolls-Royce at Hucknall nr Derby can do some work but it seems sad that we have lost the worlds greatest known jet lab. Great tour though folks, thanks for showing us the little worlds within the world we would otherwise never get to see otherwise!
The UK has a Quiet Law in the evening, so an abandoned US Air Force in the UK had a building for testing engines that had a giant extension that acted as a muffler to quiet the engine noise, when testing at night.
the air con as installed around 2003 via data plate. air con installed as that room is a server room and the purple cable are either cat5e or 6 internet data cables indicating the site has been derelict for poss 10 years stuff stripped out the red flags you see is site survey so the site is in the process for demolition and re development
wow i injoyed that.but seein hell on earth ther at same time mad just mad,our life is mapped out,it was meant to be,,,never underestimate the powers above,,,
I feel so angry seeing what’s happened to this place.Let me guess it’s gonna have houses or a huge bleeding warehouse.There must be some dodgy backhanders when these places are demolished.🤬🤬
When are you guys going to learn to wear proper footwear when you know you are going to be walking through wooded areas. Boots give you good ankle support, sneakers do not. As you have found out on numerous occasions, sneakers leak.
Chris’s fascination in what most people would find mundane alway amuses me. “Look at the thickness of this doorframe”
it was huge
Anyone else thinking that this place would be a great Rave location with the band playing from up in the tube?
Jesus folks, Hell On Earth.. Those boys are always top shelf.
Great video as always IKS. I watch and enjoy them all :)
Haha I climbed up the same part and got attacked buy every pigen that bulding had to offer 😂
The sheer scale of the place is mind-blowing!
Wow folks that was an awesome explore, so much of our history is being demolished so it's awesome this part got documented. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖
Thank you for this, and YES I AGREE IT IS AMAZING. I also have to admit it brought a smile watching you dice with the mud.
Very cool find... thanks for the journey.. Cheers from Sterling Heights Michigan USA..🇺🇲💪🇺🇲
This is a nice treat after a hard day at work .. cheers from Australia
You have to go through the swamp, but then you also have something.
However, a beautiful soundproof test room.
Love a good Hell On Earth / IKS crossover episode.
was such a suprise lol
@@IKS-Exploration Could tell it was the Hoe lads when you had to mute their swearing on the video. 🤣
Great place you get a real sense of the size of that acoustic room when the others guys walk away and you look up. Must have been pretty impressive when in use. Thanks for sharing.
Wow what an interesting site! It’s great you’ve managed to record it before it’s demolition. 👏🏻 another cracking explore! 😁👍🏻
Even though its was an old facility it looked very futuristic. Great place 👍👍
Just great as always folks! Your channel is just shear enjoyment. Thanks muchly !!👍
Great video dudes nice to see some normal people having a laugh and great explore keep it up guys stay so many legends died for it
At 13:35 I remember wiring those BNC leads for those panels. My first employer provided all the NVH instrumentation for this site.
Love the look at the sound at 29.45
Thanks 👍 IKS EXPLORATION perfect timing as always

I was surprised too I thought it was going to be a place with security everywhere lol
thanks for your support folk
Remember watching this on their channel ages ago. Both great videos
Been there myself,the fins are mad you can scream down them and someone the other end can’t hear ! Also Matt aka Secret Vault has been therre
Love the foam projectiles.
Reminds me of 1983 when America and Russia both had to deploy rubber nuclear weapons.
"Look at the sound"😂😂😂
Really enjoyed this one Folk...😀
Wake Up! You're in a dream!!!
I saw the Hell on Earth video of this place that seems like ages ago but then the time has flown in the last year.
Yes yes sorry haven't been in touch mate you were in my neck of the woods fleet Hampshire. I work in fleet. Our new van share will be up and running within the next year or so....bloody new houses built in the Pyestock area.

Hey, the whole area is impressive, thanks for the video.

You were right amazing

Binge watching more of ur vids
Wow wow wow just nuts. A Cathedral of the Jet age temple of reheat. Jet fuel theatre. Just nuts love it.
Like a Ken Adam. James Bond set .. loving this

This is gonna be a good one for sure, and Im only...40 seconds in!

Great! Thank you.
Another great explore chaps.

Great explore lads , but you really need a Welly boot sponsor :-D
was lucky enough to visit when the airhouse etc was still there...
As always a great piece of history! Thanks IKS!
very good
i grew up in fleet and never knew that was there!
That was amazing 👍
Yeah that place was a quagmire around the edges but you have never seen anything till you see the mud pits in the centre of the base.... bloody awful.
very very good vid. Loved it.
The blue cones with black tips are for microwave anechoics
I'd love to play guitar in that tube it would be so cool
First thing I thought was I wonder what my guitar sounds like in there lol
@@standingfornothing7500 I would bring My Martin Backpacker and just chill wile the explore went on
We did that place early 2020 was awesome
You went above and beyond going through a minefield and a swamp to get there 😂

Not that far from me. I'd love to go see this for myself. Doub't I'll get the chance now, so thank you for your footage, folks!
Was still there 3 months ago.
@@zGJungle Might take a trip down sometime soon then
@@Metalien76 do it soon, in fact this Christmas break is perfect time, I doubt it will be there much longer, such an amazing building.
There was also a prototype gas turbine locomotive. As well as turbinia from the North East.
Thanks guys what a find so interesting what did this cost ?
Facking hell boys. Most amazing vid i have seen for a long time. Good job.
Holy shit this place is awesome..
Low crawl across that open ground...lol.
Lol
Reminds me of the Aperture Laboratories test chambers in Portal
Dam I’d love to come with you guys on a trip like this

Damn you guys are lucky now in Feb 2021, is it like Fort Knox doors nailed shut/ concrete blocks put in front of doors such a shame :(.
That's quite a place. Thinking about all those historic engines they've ran tests on in there.
Nice video, yet again a piece of our heritage completely wiped off the face of the earth.I can’t believe this is allowed to happen so sad😢
Asbestos and fibreglass fibres... fire proof material were needed in that room.
wow i injoyed that.but seein hell on earth ther at same time mad just mad,our life is mapped out,it was meant to be,,,never underestimate the powers above,,,
Waiting for MIB...
And if you just gone outside a little more you would if found the underground area with engine parts
Tell mister M. Williams about this place
He already has a video on it
Rats whit wings
Hell on Earth - show us pissing
Hi
hi
Green paint = made safe, no longer live.
I feel so angry seeing what’s happened to this place.Let me guess it’s gonna have houses or a huge bleeding warehouse.There must be some dodgy backhanders when these places are demolished.🤬🤬
You need walking sticks
Don’t the fools who allow this to happen consider the importance and historical value these places have.
Iks watch ch 5
Insanely many commercials.....
