Secrets of the Transport Museum

Brooklands Museum is home to the most important pieces of motorsport and aviation history in the world. From the first ever purpose-built racing circuit and the cars that broke land-speed records on it, to an extraordinary collection of airplanes spanning over 100 years of aeronautical innovation - this place has it all. But it's a constant battle to keep the engines humming and the rotors turning on these priceless pieces of engineering. Every day, a team of volunteer mechanics and restorers are on hand to save these precious vehicles from the ravages of time. They get these machines back up and running, race them on Brooklands' historic track and set them to the skies again. This series, narrated by Sanjeev Bhaskar, follows the Brooklands volunteers and staff as they mend, maintain and restore the most extraordinary historic motors and airplanes in the world.
