ON Friday, March 24, 1961, the Minister of Aviation, Mr Peter Thorneyeroft, officially opened a new high supersonic speed wind tunnel at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Bedford. This tunnel provides the final stage in the present plans for expansion of the wind tunnel facilities at Bedford, being capable of providing speeds from Mach 2.5 up to Mach 5 in a working section measuring 4x3 ft. Three other tunnels arc already in operation at Bedford—these being the 13x9 ft. working section low-speed tunnel, the 3x3 ft. tunnel, which is transonic and supersonic to Mach 2, and the 8x8 ft. tunnel, which is subsonic and supersonic to Mach 2.8.
