About this museum
Brooklands is two shrines in one: the world's first purpose-built motor-racing circuit (1907) and the cradle of British aviation, where Vickers and Hawker built everything from Wellingtons to VC10s. The banked concrete track looms over the aircraft park like a frozen wave. Barnes Wallis worked here; his Stratosphere Chamber still squats on site like a landed submarine.
Listed inventory: 10 airframes.
Concorde G-BBDG, the British production-test aircraft, bookended by a Wellington bomber dredged out of Loch Ness in 1985 and the only place you can trace the bouncing bomb, the geodetic fuselage and the R.100 airship to the same drawing offices.
- Concorde G-BBDG, production-test aircraft
- Wellington "R for Robert", raised from Loch Ness
- VC10 and Vanguard, built on this site
- Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIa
- Sopwith Camel replica
Reviewers recommend the Concorde experience add-on and warn that combining Brooklands with the co-located London Bus Museum turns a visit into a full day. Members of the vintage-car community may never leave.
