Trip to Brooklands

Trundled an hour round the M25 to Brooklands which is probably the birthplace of world motorsport and also had a facility there that developed aircraft including the Concorde. The attraction for me is the motor museum and a small aircraft museum.
Wound up parking on the old circuit. It's a shame but the old banked corners seem to have gone.
Was some very nice cars and bikes there. Angela was drooling over an old Bentley. Not a supercharged job but so fast it had brakes on all 4 wheels!
For me the big attraction was the Concorde in the air museum. I have seen them flying but never up close. Although it is considered small by passenger numbers it's way bigger than I imagined. Close up it is more beautiful than from a distance. Shame there are no SSTs flying today.
There was an option to see inside but it was all booked out. Much sadness. I would have loved to see the interior and sit in one of the seats.
Not planning on going anywhere tomorrow. Out in the evening for a curry. Mmmmmm :)Leggi altro
