Much better than anticipated
Brooklands Museum的点评
点评：Spent the day celebrating my beautiful son’s 14th birthday, ticking off some very niche bucket-list items… because apparently I’m now raising a plane spotter.
We stayed at the Premier Inn Heathrow Terminal 4 purely so we could watch planes landing at Heathrow Airport. And honestly? Elite decision. The room had a perfect runway view, with planes touching down every five minutes like Heathrow was running a conveyor belt. We saw loads of Airbus A380s, which Wes explained is basically the Beyoncé of planes. It’s the biggest passenger aircraft in the world, a double-decker giant that looks like it shouldn’t be allowed to fly — and that’s exactly why he loves it. The size, the engineering, the ridiculousness of it all. Meanwhile I stood there nodding enthusiastically while I quietly battled my envy about all the glamorous places they’d just flown in from.
Once the sun came up, we even spotted Concorde Alpha Bravo — our second Concorde sighting (Alpha Foxtrot in Bristol was the first, obviously…).
After checkout, we headed to Brooklands Museum to meet Delta Golf — Concorde number three —because we are apparently collecting them now. The museum is dedicated to motorsport, aircraft and buses. We barely scratched the surface, but it was brilliant, run by volunteers so passionate they could probably identify a plane from its shadow at 300 feet. Wes even got to sit in a Harrier jet and chat to a former pilot, which officially tipped this from “nice birthday trip” into “core memory unlocked.”
They had to kick us out of the museum at closing . So, then it was off to Myrtle Avenue, where planes come in so low over your head that I spent the entire time instinctively ducking like one might clip my hair. The planes were MASSIVE, the noise was unreal, and I’m fairly sure I now know what it feels like to be runway-adjacent wildlife. Wes, of course, was in absolute heaven.
Send help. I think I’ve caught the plane-spotter bug… and I fear there’s no cure 🛩️😅

翻译：今天花了一整天庆祝我帅气的儿子14岁生日，顺便完成了一些他非常小众的愿望清单项目……因为我好像培养了一个飞机迷。
我们住在希思罗机场4号航站楼附近的Premier Inn酒店，就是为了能看飞机降落。说真的，这绝对是个明智的选择。房间视野极佳，可以俯瞰跑道，飞机每五分钟就降落一次，就像希思罗机场的传送带一样。我们看到了很多空客A380，韦斯说这玩意儿简直就是飞机界的碧昂丝。它是世界上最大的客机，一个双层巨型客机，看起来好像不应该被允许飞行——而这正是他喜欢它的原因。它的尺寸、它的工程设计、它的一切都那么不可思议。与此同时，我站在那里，一边热情地点头，一边默默地压抑着对它们刚刚从哪些光鲜亮丽的地方飞来的羡慕之情。
太阳升起后，我们甚至看到了协和式飞机的阿尔法布拉沃号——这是我们第二次见到协和式飞机（第一次当然是在布里斯托尔看到的阿尔法狐步号……）。
退房后，我们前往布鲁克兰兹博物馆，去见见我们的第三架协和式飞机——三角洲高尔夫号——因为我们似乎正在收集它们。这家博物馆致力于展示赛车、飞机和巴士。我们只是浅尝辄止，但它已经非常精彩了，博物馆的志愿者们热情洋溢，他们或许能从300英尺外的影子就认出飞机。韦斯甚至还坐进了一架鹞式战斗机，并与一位前飞行员聊了聊天，这彻底让这次旅行从“一次不错的生日之旅”变成了“一段刻骨铭心的记忆”。
博物馆闭馆时，他们不得不把我们请出去。于是，我们前往默特尔大道，那里飞机从头顶低空飞过，我全程都本能地低头躲避，生怕被飞机刮到头发。飞机体型巨大，噪音震耳欲聋，我几乎可以肯定，我现在体会到了跑道旁野生动物的感受。当然，韦斯简直乐翻了天。
救命啊！我觉得我中了飞机迷的毒……而且恐怕没救了🛩️😅
