The Brooklands Museum tells the story of the development of British motorsport and aviation at the site from 1907. Brooklands-based aviation companies such as Sopwith, Martinsyde and Vickers played a key role in the development of aviation. Displays and exhibits portray the contribution of the area in both world wars, and also in the post-war years with Vickers and later BAC. An exhibition on Grand Prix motor racing can also be seen, and a small but significant motorcycle collection is situated in one of the old sheds.
The BMCT is proud to have one of its own machines on display, the 1920 Martinsyde-Newman which was built on the site when aircraft production slowed in the aftermath of World War I. The bike is currently being recommissioned by the enthusiastic motorcycle volunteer group, and will be seen in action at some of the museum events planned for this year.
The new Concorde exhibition is open for limited viewing while the interior is being fitted, and should be fully open in the near future.
