F.A.S.T. (Farnborough Air Sciences Trust), operated by Richard Gardner Associates Limited, is a registered charity and accredited national museum dedicated to preserving and promoting Farnborough’s significant heritage in aviation science. The organization manages the FAST Museum, which houses a collection of aircraft, satellites, simulators, and other unique materials related to the Royal Aircraft Establishment. In addition to the museum, FAST offers exclusive guided tours of historic aviation sites in Farnborough, including wind tunnels and the man-carrying centrifuge (though centrifuge tours are currently unavailable).
The Trust is entirely volunteer-led and self-funded, relying on donations, memberships, and fundraising activities. The museum is open to the public on weekends and bank holidays, and it also supports educational visits, archival research, and community events. FAST is headquartered at Trenchard House, 85 Farnborough Road, Farnborough, Hampshire GU14 6TF.
Key leadership details are not explicitly listed on the main website, but the organization is supported by a membership association and a team of volunteers. The Trust has received recognition such as a grant from the National Heritage Lottery Fund and the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. Recent news includes the announcement of the 2025 Wind Tunnel Tour season (April 3 – October 30, 2025) and ongoing quarterly FAST Talks events. The museum continues to expand its outreach and preservation efforts, supported by grants and community involvement.
