The Brooklands Museum Aviation Day on 15 October saw what is thought to be the largest gathering of de Havilland Moths to have visited since the aerodrome closed for domestic and commercial use in 1939, with six Tiger Moths and a Moth Major from the Tiger Nine display team alighting on the 230m-long grass strip during the morning. This runway hasn't seen much activity over the past few years, but, with the help of the adjacent Mercedes-Benz World, it is now hoped to make more use of it. The museum is looking to carry out various improvements including some ground works to extend it, as and when funds permit. Plans are already being made for another Brooklands Aviation Day in September 2018.
