After a conversation at Billing a few of us thought about going to Mercedes Benz World and Brooklands Museum and the 20th September looks favourite. It is off the M25 at Weybridge in Surrey - KT13 OSL

www.Mercedes-Benz.co.uk/World

There seems to be a few things to do including looking at a collection of classic Mercedes, some F1 cars and there seems to be a decent cafe. If anyone wants to you can pay for a "driving experience". It is also the home of the Brooklands Museum. Suggest meet up at the Merc bit, maybe take some photos for the calendar And then after lunch off to the Brooklands museum. The Brooklands museum costs £9 per adult

A century of history
The Brooklands Museum opened in 1991 on 30 acres of the original motor racing circuit. Its fascinating exhibits from the history of motor sports and aviation and regular themed events attract over 100,000 visitors annually.

Step back in time

From the original Edwardian Clubhouse to the Motoring Village, both fully restored, the museum is dedicated to keeping the ‘Spirit of Brooklands’ alive by taking visitors on a captivating journey through the glory days of aviation and motoring. In the Campbell Shed you can discover the history of the Brooklands Circuit, and see some of the legendary cars that raced there. The Grand Prix Exhibition features Formula One cars driven by racing heroes such as Senna and Hakinnen, and few could fail to marvel at the unique Napier-Railton.

A flying start

The museum’s hangars also house over 30 historic aircraft, including a Vickers VC10, the ‘R for Robert’ WWII bomber, salvaged from Loch Ness, and the recently restored ‘Delta-Golf’ Concorde, which forms part of the unique new Concorde Experience – an unmissable highlight of any trip to Brooklands. In fact, there is so much to see and do at Brooklands Museum, you may have to save some of it for the next time you visit.
