Most of Lord Trenchard's time at Farnborough would have been spent organising the training of recruits and equipping the new units and recruits sent out to France to augment the growing RFC. The initial movement of the Royal Flying Corps Expeditionary Force to France took place just as he arrived to take up his posting and was probably organised by Sir Frederick Sykes, from whom Lord Trenchard took over.
The earliest Royal Flying Corps operational squadrons were based in the hangars at the foot of the rise immediately in front of Trenchard House.
The building has been fully refurbished and is the administrative headquarters of FAST. Trenchard House now houses FAST's museum, displaying a significant part of the FAST collection. The building is made available to FAST by SEGRO through a lease to Farnborough Air Sciences Heritage Ltd.
