Steeped in a rich history, Brooklands was a pioneer in multifarious aspects of transport. Established near Weybridge in Surrey, England, it was the world's first purpose-built 'banked' motor racing circuit when it opened in 1907. Undeniably a marvel of its time, its creation was the brainchild of Hugh Fortescue Locke-King and designed by Colonel Capel Lofft Holden of the Royal Artillery.

Though the name "Brooklands" may primarily evoke images of motor racing, its contribution to aviation history is equally significant. One of Britain's earliest airfields, in 1918, it evolved into the country's largest aircraft manufacturing centre. The first official powered flight in Britain was even achieved here by Louis Paulhan in 1909.
