There are some really knowledgeable people featured including ex BA Concorde licensed engineers and Julian their driver who save the show imho.

Even low level & basic, they talked about a flying officer’s uniform from 1943 which was quite clearly an RAF sergeants uniform but the lack of knowledge is on display everywhere & it puts Brooklands in a bad light.

Safety is another issue with both aircraft movements and propellor running and clearly no technical training whatsoever but for an interest in cars & aeroplanes.

Being a Brooklands Member, I like many cringe watching it & find my toes curling but then breath out during the good bits. I guess it’s a horror!

Some of the potential moving / lifting operations make you cringe a bit, like the slinging of the bomb casing they moved, I suspect a surprise visit from the local HSE officer will happen soon
