Hi Guys,
The Runway at Brooklands was the original (tarmac) length when the VC-10 landed in 1987 and as it has already been said this was not the first VC-10 to land there. During production some flew back for mods.
By the time the BAC 1-11 G-ASYD landed in 1994 the runway had lost about a third of its length and the same applies for the Vanguard G-APEP in 1996.
I was/am a volunteer at the Museum for 20 Years and it was sad to see the runway go.
Cheers
