Stripping down Wellington Bombers.
Plans of the Hennebique Bridge We were recently very excited to acquire six wonderful drawings of the Hennebique Bridge. The Hennebique Bridge carried the Members’ Banking over the River Wey to the Railway Straight on the other side. The plan drawings show the ingenious construction which was ground-breaking at the time. Our sincere thanks go to Roger Bird who was instrumental in this acquisition.
Photographs of Wellington repair at Thomson & Taylor
Many thanks to Ron Chapman for his donation of six photographs showing the stripping down of Wellington Bombers at Thomson & Taylor. The components were then reused. The photos are a wonderful snapshot of wartime work, as well as highlighting the contribution of Thomson & Taylor and detailing aspects of the Wellington repair programme.
Album of photographs and cuttings from motoring events circa WWII We are very grateful to Sarah Hughes-Games for the donation of her late father’s cuttings book. In it he had compiled photos, programme pages and advertisements for several Brooklands races in the late 1930s, in addition to other contemporary venues. Some pages are colour-coded to link a photo with a particular entry in the programme. It will be an excellent addition to our collection, providing further information and images of late Brooklands racing.
