Aircraft at Brooklands Museum

Set at the birthplace of British motorsport and aviation near Weybridge, Brooklands combines racing and flying heritage on one historic site, with Concorde and Vickers/Hawker aircraft that were built here.

Aviation and motorsport on one historic site

Brooklands is unique: the world's first purpose-built motor-racing circuit (1907) and a pioneering aircraft factory in one place. Around 18,600 aircraft of nearly 260 types were built here between 1908 and 1987, so the aviation collection sits right alongside the famous banked track.

Aircraft highlights to look for

Concorde G-BBDG, centrepiece of the walk-through "Concorde Experience"
a Vickers Wellington bomber — a design closely tied to Brooklands
Vickers types including the VC10 and Vanguard
the Supermarine Swift F.4 prototype (WK198), which set a world air-speed record in 1953
flyable replicas such as a Sopwith Camel and a Blériot XI

📄 Log your visit: take our printable Museum Aircraft Log Sheet — columns for type, manufacturer, registration/serial, variant, country, era, hall/location, seen, photographed and notes. Not every aircraft has every detail, so leave blanks rather than guessing.

Making the most of your visit

Allow time for both the aircraft and the motoring/track heritage — it's a great mixed day out. Concorde is the star photo; step inside for the cabin, and note how many Vickers and Hawker types were actually built on this very site. Families enjoy the interactive areas as much as the aircraft.
