Alcock and Brown
Visit to Brooklands Museum. Lots to see, a big site, situated within the old race track. This was the place for speed - cars and planes, including, of course, Concorde. You can go onto the plane where they pretend to take you on a trip, and give out boarding cards and flight certificates. In terms of simulated flights I've been on much better - just a bit of vibration!
Extras are
Vickers FB27 Vimy Replica
Hawker Siddely Harrier GR.1
Concorde Engines
Napier Railton built for John Cobb
View of Concorde on tarmac.
