Brooklands 1/5/06 (56K users - Caution, 18 pictures!)

Went to Brooklands today, was the busiest I have ever seen it. The car park behind the Wellington hangar and the green field were both full so I ended up parking on the banking near where the Hennebique bridge previously stood.
In no particular order:
Overview from the top of the test hill (foreground). Various emergency vehicles on display at the bottom of the hill. As can be seen most of the site is now redevloped, as business units, industrial estate, some retail and housing and now the Mercedes Benz centre.
Your truly's car on the banking
One 'o them
Still a few leading edges pieces to insert and paint and the tail
Flightdeck is coming on
Not much in the forward cabin yet, just a few wall panels
Theres a small section of 1990s seating midway down the fuselage
One for Tonks, Paul and Jelle (and others too!)
And a couple for Garry and Fraser...
Hawker P.1127... not really sure why Brooklands has various Hawker types - I assume some work was subcontracted to Vickers/BAC? Or it could be because theres nothing left at Kingston or Dunsfold now?
