About Brooklands Museum
The world’s first purpose-built racing circuit, constructed at Weybridge, Surrey in 1907. Brooklands was the birthplace of British motorsport and aviation, home of Concorde and the site of many engineering and technological achievements throughout eight decades of the 20th century.
The Museum displays a wide range of Brooklands-related motoring and aviation exhibits ranging from giant racing cars, motorcycles and bicycles to an unparalleled collection of Hawker and Vickers/ BAC-built aircraft, including the Second World War Wellington Bomber, Viking, Varsity, Viscount, Vanguard, VC10, BAC One-Eleven and the only Concorde with public access in South East England.
It includes footage of the Test Hill Centenary, Spring Gathering and Brooklands Relived plus the motorcycle teams’ first visit to Brands Hatch for an on-track display. There is also profiles of a couple of machines in the Museum Collection plus previously un-seen and newly discovered black and white film of the 1992 Brooklands Reunion event, held on the old runway and Test Hill.
Featured bikes include Velocette, Brough, Grindlay Peerless, AJS and Ariel.
Running time is 70 minutes.
