The video of HRH opening the Brooklands Aircraft Factory & Flight Shed on Monday, is now on line. If you enjoy it, please feel free to pass it on, it’s all good publicity for the Museum.

Thanks Propstrike.
I did not use a drone for this all the aerial shots were done from Gary’s helicopter, it would have been very difficult to operate the drone legally with the public around etc.
I will be editing and posting the second video soon, this one shows the aero engine runs and we were able to establish a sterile area to launch the drone and I got some great aerial shoots of the Vimy running albeit from a long way away.

Dont worry it was not squashed it was just the inner frame flexing as we took the weight and of course being canvas covered it crinkled, it all went away as soon as it had stood for a day.
Referring to Joe90 and Creaking Door’s Post above, I am the person responsible for this work and can tell you that there are a number of PLAYLISTS dealing with events at Brooklands since 1984 when I first moved there with my company National Rescue.
They include:
Brooklands pre 2000 which has much footage of the Brooklands aircraft collection arriving. Plus some of the old buildings like the fires station, some hangers and the canteen.
Brooklands after 2000 including some events, the rebuilding of the site and the arrival of later aircraft like the Vimy.
Plus specific Playlist for events like the Emergency Vehicle Day.
The best place to start and see the playlist is here http://www.youtube.com/user/andysvideo
Please enjoy as they were made for people like you.

It was not squashed just the lining coming up and it will soon go back down.
Cheers Andy

Yes it sure did come and stole the show for me. I know “it does not do much” and we have “seen it all before” BUT it is the way “it does not do much” that gets me!
Anyway if you want to see it in action, I had time to make 3 quick Videos at this years event. They are the Videos 8, 9 and 10 on my ‘All Aviation’ playlist at http://www.andysvideo.com or a direct link is here The Vulcan is in both the 1st and the last of the three videos.
