点评:The setting of the Brooklands Museum gives a truly authentic feel - from original repurposed work sheds and buildings to the sweeping banked curve of the old race track - it felt like a step back in time. This made the history feel more alive and real.
We had a warm greeting and welcome immediately we crossed the bridge. The ticket staff were friendly and helpful. Every shed or hangar we went into had staff and mostly volunteers who were informative and happy to share knowledge if you wanted it.
The Stratosphere Chamber was fascinating and we appreciated and understood it much more after a chat with the staff member/volunteer who explained how it had worked.
The Concorde Experience was great. By the end of the final video I felt quite emotional - it took me back to being a child and reading about the test flights, then seeing it go into commercial use and following its career up until 2003. The experience is a fitting epitaph for this beautiful and impressive feat of human engineering.
We had a hot lunch in the cafe which we enjoyed. And later tea and cake. It was all tasty and the cafe staff were smiley and helpful. I particularly enjoyed the light jazz music in the background that evoked another era.
Note that the London Bus Museum is located within Brooklands site and can also be enjoyed. This part seemed particularly popular with families and younger children!
We went on a Sunday and it seemed surprisingly quiet.
Overall it was a lovely day out and I would recommend for anyone, young or old, with even just a passing interest in transport history.
翻译:布鲁克兰博物馆的布景营造出一种真实的氛围——从最初改造的工棚和建筑,到蜿蜒曲折的旧赛道——仿佛时光倒流,让历史更加鲜活真实。
我们一过桥就受到了热情的欢迎。售票员友好热情。我们经过的每个工棚或机库都有工作人员,其中大部分是志愿者,他们知识渊博,乐于分享知识。
平流层舱室令人着迷,在与工作人员/志愿者交谈并了解其工作原理后,我们更加欣赏和理解了它。
协和式飞机体验很棒。看完最后一段视频后,我感触颇深——它让我回想起童年时代,阅读试飞的资料,见证它投入商业运营,并一直关注它的服役生涯,直到2003年。这段经历堪称是对这项人类工程学伟大壮举的完美纪念。
我们在咖啡馆享用了热腾腾的午餐,非常享受。之后,我们又享用了茶和蛋糕。一切都很美味,咖啡馆的工作人员总是面带微笑,乐于助人。我特别喜欢背景中轻快的爵士乐,它让人想起了另一个时代。
请注意,伦敦巴士博物馆位于布鲁克兰兹园区内,也可以参观。这部分似乎特别受家庭和年幼儿童的欢迎!
我们去的时候是周日,那里出奇地安静。
总的来说,这是美好的一天,我推荐给所有对交通历史感兴趣的人,无论老少,即使只是一时兴起。
