On Sunday 3 August Brooklands Museum will be marking the centenary of the start of World War One, with a special event encompassing the many aspects of Brooklands’ involvement in the Great War of 1914 – 1918. For this special event Brooklands will be gathering automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, commercial vehicles, buses and aircraft from the period up to 1919. In the paddock there will be a display of the vehicles taking part in the Great War Centenary Parade in London on the 4th August. At lunchtime these pre-war vehicles will be taking part in a Cavalcade round the Mercedes-Benz World circuit. Overhead will be a stunning air show from the Great War Display Team who will be flying their replicas of a Sopwith Triplane, a BE2 and an SE5. On the ground Brooklands Museum own aircraft will be making a grand entrance too and, as well as running the Sopwith Camel, they hope to bring the Vimy to life, for the first time since it flew in in 2009.
