Considering that the Skylon guys were having all kinds of trouble getting wind tunnel access, my first though was where are they testing the models at?

Thing looks cool as all hell and i want to believe, but yea, maybe in 10 years. They may have a working engine that can, at least on paper, power the thing, but how many hypersonic test facilities are there in the world? Two? Three?
