Concorde G-BBDG has been superbly restored and resides at Brooklands Museum.
Over thirty per cent of every Concorde airframe, British and French, was built here
- more than at any other location - so it can truly be said that
Brooklands is the Home of Concorde.
Sadly, this beautiful lady no longer flies, but we can now offer you the next best thing
in our exclusive programme of scheduled Concorde Champagne Days.
In addition to the Champagne Flight, lunch will be a re-creation of an actual Concorde
menu and will be taken with Capt. Mike Bannister, British Airways Chief Concorde Pilot,
and, after your meal, he will give a fascinating Concorde presentation.
Your day with Concorde will also include a brief visit to the Concorde Simulator
- the only one in the world open to the public!
If you flew Concorde in the past, we would be delighted to welcome you on board again.
If you never had the opportunity, now is the time to take your seat!

THE BIRTHPLACE OF
BRITISH MOTORSPORT AND AVIATION
Brooklands was the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit and the site
of many engineering and technical achievements for 80 years of the 20th Century.
Today, the Museum displays a wide range of Brooklands-related
motorsport and aviation exhibits, and is the home of the London Bus Museum.
It is an adventure for all ages and, with the Sunbeam Café in our Edwardian Clubhouse
and a shop offering an impressive range of gifts and souvenirs,
the Museum is the perfect place to observe, appreciate, enjoy and learn about
Britain’s unsurpassed aviation and motor sport heritage.
