Brooklands is my local and go-to aviation site, to see an aviation movement such as this at a place with as much sentimental value to me almost brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for sharing!

Dang, I thought we were going to see it take off. Brittania, Vanguard and Belfast - great turbobprop aircraft from the period, but absurdly small production runs. We had our school trip to Vickers, Weybridge in about 1956 and toured the wooden mock up of the Vanguard. I remember my surprise at wood & clay sinks in the toilets, accurate to the smallest detail. I strayed from the rest and got underneath the open bomb bay of a Valiant, but was quickly pulled away by Vickers staff!

There is something of majesty about this elegant and beautiful aircraft. The exquisite sound of those RR Tynes - so commonplace in the sixties skies were so taken for granted! Of course I am regretful that I didn't hire a Uher portable stereo recorder for a fruitful day's session at Heathrow then. Vanguards, Britannias, Electras - they all had their identifying characteristic sound.

I remember these flying over my house when i was a boy. I lived in Ealing at the time and when there was an Easterly wind blowing the take off path for Heathrow was directly above where I lived. Used to love the sound of these on full power. Heathrow used to hum to the sound of these and the Viscounts!

I can't drive along the M8 motorway east of Glasgow airport without thinking of BEA Vanguards. On the straight stretch at Hillington the M8 use to be runway 08 at Renfrew airport. Aged 6 in 1965 I stood on the apron and witnessed my first ever close-up of an aeroplane. It's huge blackened nose coming towards me I stood terrified and holding my ears. The sight, the noise, the smell - then pilot waved to me, I was hooked! I still want to be that pilot - maybe it was Capt Brant? Thanks.

Reminds me of the old Air Canada Vanguards. Haven't heard this sound in about 4 decades. I once flew on a Vanguard as a child - a Trans Canada Airlines courtesy flight around Toronto, early 60's.

44 Vanguards were built,and delivered to the only two airlines that ordered them,B.E.A and Trans Canada Airlines. Last flight was in 1996, when the aircraft featured in this video flew into Brooklands. My Dad flew on this type several times in the 1960s when they operated many of B.E.A's domestic services from Heathrow to Manchester/Glasgow/Edinburgh and Belfast.He always said that although the cabin was spacious and comfortable,once in the air they rattled and shook like crazy!

The Brit's answer to the L188 Electra, and an equal in performance. She looks like she was still operation here, nice and clean. I hear her engines still get a run up from time to time. In time to come hopefully, there will be a market enough to justify the cost of such a machine being overhauled and re-configured back to pax, for corporate charters, scenic flights, espesh now the DC-3 has been halted due to ridiculous beurocracy. And this beast can get there faster.

Looks like the designers wanted to build a jet and then decided to slap those turboprops on as an after thought. VERY beautiful machine though. I agree, nothing sounds like a Rolls Turboprop.

It may have been as it was changed to a cargo "Merchantman" as you can see the large cargo door that was installed. I believe they also strengthened the floors as well. I did quite a few flights in these in me early working years for Nortel. Very robust aircraft and although they had cyclic vibration it always felt to me as it being reassuring. They would wind the turbo's up to top rpm and then feed in the props and they would accelerate like crazy. Accident free for all its time in Air Canada
