Why does Brooklands Museum charge visitors to board Delta Golf?
To have Delta Golf taken apart at Filton, transported to Brooklands and then re-assembled again and restored to its present condition cost the museum in the order of 500,000 – a very considerable sum for such a small organisation. It was a comparative risk for the museum to take but is one that is now proving its worth with the numbers of visitors coming to the museum to see the aircraft. It is essential for the continued success of the museum that they start earning back some of the money invested in Delta Golf and is hence why they charge a small extra fee on top of museum entry for entry to the aircraft.
