The Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), was a British research establishment, known by several different names during its history, that eventually came under the aegis of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), before finally losing its identity in mergers with other institutions.
The first site was at Farnborough Airfield ("RAE Farnborough") in Hampshire to which was added a second site RAE Bedford (Bedfordshire) in 1946.
In 1988 it was renamed the Royal Aerospace Establishment before merging with other research entities to become part of the new Defence Research Agency in 1991.
In 1904–1906 the Army Balloon Factory, which was part of the Army School of Ballooning, under the command of Colonel James Templer, relocated from Aldershot to the edge of Farnborough Common in order to have enough space for experimental work. Templar retired in 1908 and his place was taken by Colonel John Capper.
In October 1908 Samuel Cody made the first aeroplane flight in Britain at Farnborough. In 1909 Capper was replaced as Superintendent of the Balloon Factory by Mervyn O'Gorman

A brief in-flight video taken by a small digital camera attached to the starboard wing of my latest model: an Aviatik Bii (1915). Nothing very exiting but there is a loop in there (which the original certainly could not do - too underpowered) and you can see me waving to the camera from the ground.
