The old vanguard nose section in the weeds near G-APEP could surely be made into
an Vanguard exhibit or be integrated into a Restaurant at Brooklands or even a playground feature for kids to sit in. Seems like a crying shame. Was this part of a Vanguard simulator.
I used to handle new Air Canada Vanguards back in 1968 lovely airplanes
We moved it just two days ago and it is now next to its sister. It was never a stimulator, but the front section of an aircraft we rescued when the aircraft was cut up for scrap. You can see more about in the pictures section at the Brooklands Engineering and Salvage Team website at vvvvvv breastjobs,net (you will have to manually key the link in as U-TUB don't allow it proper links).
Good old G-APEJ good to see this Video

Cant understand why the outside aircraft at Brooklands except concorde look so shabby
seems like volunteers could be rounded up to do some landscaping and cleaning
it is not a free museum so there should be some money allocated to that

Is there a way you can put all you excellent Vickers Vanguard clips into one Video Clip please?
Thanks Davy

@davybranson Nice Idea but sorry to say the answer is no, as the video would be too long for You Tube
.
You can however, select my playlist called 'Brooklands Videos - Older Clips', to run all the old Brooklands Clips on after the other.
