Coming into Farnborough

Visitors to the Airshow coming into Farnborough on the A325.
The Big Glass building "CONCEPT 2000" Has been demolished
and Blocks of flats and Houses going up. Looking down Victoria
rd you will see loads of hoardings hiding the fact that most of the
Town centre is a big building Site with only the Southern part still
open KINGS MEAD and PRINCES MEAD +The remaning Part of
Queensmead. One piece od Bad news is that the hotel and Pub
"TUMBLEDOWN DICK" Is closed with a very Uncertain Future.
As you progress along the A325 over to your right you will see
the area where the Buses pick up and set down by the car park
Building will soon Start here on a" MULTIPLEX CINEMA "complex
Getting closer to the field by the Collage is where there has
been Major changes to the Road layouts to allow Entry into
the old "RAE" Factory site with a mixture of Shops , offices
Homes and preserved buildings , Next on the right is the
Famous Airshow pictured Pub " The Swan Hotel" recently
Refurbished then next building is the "FAST" Museum loads
of Exhibits from Farnborough past FREE entry .
Then we come to a new Hotel for "TAG AVIATION" Should be
open in July 2008 . This then brings you to the Entrance
For the Show well we think it is still to be used but its
part of the Hotel parking Area so we wait to see if still used.
