No sign of any programs on TV about the Hurricane’s 75th this weekend either …:(

The Vimy has been operating out of Oxford Airport recently and should today (weather permitting) relocate to a new (temporary) home elsewhere (not Brooklands – yet) where it will be on display to the public. At this point in time I do not know when the official announcement will be made about the location of the new home – so keep watching.

Major efforts are being made by various people at Brooklands to keep the aircraft flying and it is being maintained in airworthy condition. No progress has yet been made by M-B to provide the grass airstrip that was promised to Brooklands as part of the airfield redevelopment therefore the museum cannot act as a base for operations.

On another subject, the BBC is filming “Antiques Roadshow” at the museum at the end of May – should be worth watching.

Not exactly from an airfield – this is inside the Vickers-Armstrong air raid shelter at Brooklands (NOT at the museum …)

Brooklands (Surrey) is certainly the closest to Gatwick and the organised tours of “DG” are only £4 per adult and £2 per child (in addition to the museum entry fee). Another site worth looking at is: http://www.brooklandsconcorde.com

Hobby horse of mine…..

Do Brooklands have any plans to get the airlinners under cover?

Steve.

Yes, as soon as the funds are raised …
