Final Trip of 2018.
We spent the afternoon at The Brooklands Musuem which is at the old Brooklands Track in Weybridge, UK. It's automotive, motorbike and aviation related. The London bus Musuem is also on site which is very interesting as well Afterwards it was a short walk next door to Mercedes Benz World. Entry into Brooklands Musuem is £12 and well worth it. Mercedes is free unless you wish to drive a car on the one of the several test tracks they have.
We landed at LHR T2 at around 6:30am. No rental car issues this time. 2 mins at the Hertz counter and we were off in our brand new Skoda Fabia 1.0L FSI, more on that at a later time. Luckily our hotel just outside of London had a room ready for us at had us checked in by 8am. The nap was much needed
Brooklands is a fabulous Experience. All exhibits are well presented and the volunteers on hand are very knowledgeable. I quite liked the manly man talk with the old timers. This place drips in the golden age of aviation and motorsport. What remains of the old banking is walkable and you start to get the sense of just how big the drivers balls were..
The aviation section is dripping in history as well.
