Brooklands - know the place well, really well, petitioned Woking and Elmbridge councils, watched it appear from the closure of BAE (after doing a bit of Urban Exploring) stewarded there in its early days, watched one of the panes fly in (and nearly crash) seen the arrival of Concorde (in bits on a truck) seen the move of Cobham Bus Museum onto site, driven up the test hill, and the banking, drooled over 200 Capris parked up there, walk round its fence with the dogs three times a week. If you could cobble a branch line into there and stick a BR9F in there in it its a complete boyhood playground.
How on earth do you convey the birth of British Motorsport & Aviation, the sheer breadth of exhibits, the history of the place in a way that non "peeps like us" understand. You personalise it and dumb it down.
