Vimy flying into Brooklands

Today, Sun 15th, will possibly see the last flight of the Vickers Vimy replica NX71MY into Brooklands Museum. The flight has been pencilled in between 14:00z and 15:00z and is dependant on weather (of course)
It will be flying from Dunsfold and should take around 25 mins to get to Brooklands where it will be displayed in the hangar.

Well worth a look-see. Here are some snaps I took when it visited Fairoaks in June:
