Shot taken a few minutes after take off from Heathrow. Not much of the main runway or original buildings is left. During WWII Wellingtons, Warwicks and Hurricanes were built here. After the war the Viking, Valetta, Varsity, Viscount, Vanguard, 1-11 and VC-10 were built here. The airfield closed on 25 Dec 1989. The Brooklands Museum is near the top right of the picture housing many aircraft plus cars from its time as a race circuit.
