Brooklands

A visit today to Brooklands Museum - "The Birthplace of British Motorsport & Aviation - Home of Concorde".  Being no petrolhead, I had absolutely no idea of the existence of this place let alone any expectations of what it would be like.  But I was pleasantly surprised - enough things to do to keep little kids occupied despite the heat, but enough to see that you could easily visit without kids.  Cars, bikes, motorbikes, airplanes, and even the London Bus Museum - plenty of historic models to be found here, in the environs of the old motor racing circuit and the location of probably loads of technological/engineering advances in the early/mid 20th century.  Makes my ignorance of this place a little embarrassing.
