A variety of military vehicles were on display at Brooklands Museum in Weybridge on Sunday, November 18.

A collection of Second World War German motorcycles.

Some of the vehicles tackled its famous Test Hill, while others could be seen at the off-road circuit in Mercedes-Benz World.

It was a fine day and the event was well attended.

Re-enactors on parade in the Paddock.

Re-enactors representing various armies all stood still at 10.59am as an air-raid siren sounded. The Last Post was sounded before a minute’s silence, followed by the Kohima Epitaph being read out.

Looking ahead, from December 3 to 7, there is free entry if you show a current or old National Lottery ticket or Scratch Card.

Brooklands Museum is one of 400 participating National Lottery-funded visitor attractions across the UK in saying ‘thanks’ to people who have raised money for good causes by buying a lottery ticket.

New Year’s Day will feature the Classic Gathering of pre 1989 vehicles.
