- **Event Name**: Yeovilton Lecture Evening: RAE National Gas Turbine Establishment by Allan Wright
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Farnborough's National Gas Turbine Establishment (NGTE Pyestock) at the then Royal Aircraft Establishment oversaw the development of gas turbine and jet engines in the UK for more 50 years.
The NGTE came into existence during the mid-1940s, its principal predecessors were Power Jets headed by Frank Whittle, inventor of the British jet engine, and the RAE turbine development team; the design teams of both entities were incorporated, initially being led by Sir Frank Whittle and Hayne Constant.
NGTE's function was as a testing and development centre, both for experimental designs and to support commercial engine companies.  This was in the halcyon days of aviation, with ongoing projects that included TSR2, Concorde and the RB211.
