Francis, 2001/2). June 1907: Brooklands Motor Circuit completed for Hugh & Ethel Locke King and first opened; construction work included diverting the River Wey in two places. Although the secondary use of the site as an aerodrome was not yet anticipated, the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club soon encouraged flying there by offering a £2,500 prize for the first powered flight around the Circuit by the end of 1907! February 1908: Colonel Lindsay Lloyd (Brooklands’ new Clerk of the Course) elected a member of the Aero Club of Great Britain. 29/06/1908: First known air photos of Brooklands taken from a hot air balloon – no sign of any existing route along the future Aerodrome Road (A/R) and the River Wey still meandered across the road’s future path although a footbridge(?) carried a rough track to Hollicks Farm (ref.

    North Shore Vintage Car Club Your journal Your stories Your photos Your cars Progress: Your ideas Your committee The monthly journal of the North Shore Vintage Car Club December/January 2020/21 1 Progress Editorial December 2020 Firstly let me apologise for the late arrival of this edition. The morning after the last committee meeting Helen and I flew down to Queenstown to start a 12 day road trip across the Deep South. We travelled around Queenstown, Arrowtown, Gore, Invercargill, Riverton, The Caitlins, then up to Dunedin. We visited lots of museums, saw sea-lions and the World’s Fastest Indian. After driving the Otago and Southland roads it’s now obvious to me why Veteran and Vintage vehicles are so popular down there. Miles of gently curving roads with hardly another car to be seen. I didn’t think of the Harbour Bridge once! So that’s the end of another year at the NSVCC and eleven more issues of Progress “out of the door”. At this stage it would be remiss of me not to thank all of those who have contributed to this publication. Particular thanks must go to Terry Costello, Bruce Skinner and Richard Bampton who without fail have contributed something to every edition. Apologies to Richard for refusing to publish his scurrilous article and photograph implying that all Fords would be better badged Holdens. 2020 has been a strange year but how lucky we are to be down here in the South Pacific well away from the ravages of Covid, free from the stresses of Brexit and the insanity of the US presidential elections.
