Stuart comes in handy for scale purposes! He's standing under the Members Bridge over the Members Banking and also alongside a Railton. Campbell's workshop is where Bluebird 3 and 4 were built, designed by Reid Railton, and the petrol station is one of four positioned round the place where cars would take on fuel before races. The Clubhouse is still intact and original.

What a great get-together you and Stuart experienced. How lucky for both of you to have this time and memories together.

That's extremely cool ! It's great that historical places like this are still around and preserved for people to visit.

There is a film on You Tube that takes an aerial trip round ...

Brooklands, occasionally reverting to a drawn plan. It's well worth searching for.
