There's a high altitude chamber at the Brooklands museum in the U.K.
In the 50s it was used to test how aircraft would work at 70K feet.
It's really big.
It was invented/created by Barnes Wallis of bouncing bomb fame.
It was used to verify a lot of things that ended up being used for
the Concorde.
There's one of those also at Brooklands
