There are 30 aircraft on the site at Brooklands reflecting the full history of aviation at Brooklands over the past Century. The 'R' for Robert Wellington Bomber recovered from Loch Ness is located in the Aviation Hangar.

The pride and joy of the motoring collection is the Napier Railton. The Grand Prix Exhibition and the Campbell shed are certainly worth a visit.
