TSR2 cockpit section at Brooklands Museum photgraphed just before lunch :

is anyone else watching this?

‘Re: Air Show, there is a clip on youtube (I think it must be from that show) of Alain de Caddenet (spelling?) almost getting his hair cut by a Spit!’

I always thought it was from a Goodwood Festival Of Speed video??

‘What became of the one that had been in a Soviet museum?’
Is this the airframe that is now at Brooklands? I seem to remember it came out of the former Soviet Union?

up to 11,000 now.

it’s probably in the Thames TV archive, or whoever owns it these days. (Freemantle?)

I haven’t seen the programme but will certainly on catchup/Channel 4 iPlayer, or whatever it’s called. As an aside, I work for the Discovery Channel. About 2 years ago I had a meeting with the head woman of our Discovery Turbo channel, as I had a about 5 car related programme ideas (I used to work for Formula 1 in the past and have produced 3 half hour documentaries that have aired on Motors TV) and wanted to see if she thought they had any legs (we are encouraged to put forward programme ideas sometimes…I actually work in Transmission at the moment). When it came down it it, she literally didn’t want to see any of the ideas at all, as I hadn’t any idea on who might present them…….and that was that. Which p*ssed me off for quite a little while………..

Brooklands certainly does have an ‘operational’ grass strip, it’s on the Mercedes Benz site, right in front of the car park where you park to then go into Brooklands. Don’t forget, the Vimy replica landed there, for starters.
