It was piled high almost to the ceiling with about 150 special machines including 63 bicycles and tricycles, early cars and planes. The collection was demaged when the airfield was bombed during II World war, but the major part survived. Some vehicles are in Science Museum in London and the best machines are here (collection loaned by Richard and Mary Nash).

BROOKLANDS - the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit, constructed at Weybridge, Surrey in 1907 - was more than a great sporting arena. Brooklands was the birthplace of British motorsport and aviation, home of Concorde and the site of many engineering and technological achievements throughout eight decades of the 20th century. (Pictures are from a fantastic book: Nicholas H. Lancaster – „Brooklands Cradle of British Motor Racing and Aviation“)
