De Havilland Aircraft Museum

The De Havilland Aircraft Museum is a museum that is completely run by volunteers. At a certain time, it was known as the de Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre, located in London Colney, Hertfordshire, England. The collection and exhibits you will find include restorations as well as prototype shops for such aircraft, as the de Havilland Vampire which is the 3rd jet aircraft that is still in operation in the entire world as well as the de Havilland Mosquito.

Examples of aircraft on display, including those that are being restored, include:

* DH53 Hummingbird: this one is owned privately and has its own original empennage and wings. DH Technical School constructed its fuselage
* Cierva C.24 was placed here from the Science Museum as a long term loan
* DH88 Comet is only a replica which at this time is
being restored
* DH87 Hornet Moth
* DH89 Dragon Rapide is in the workshop being restored
* DH82 Tiger Moth was used for crop spraying
* DH104 Dove 8 (with an executive layout)
* DH114 Heron 2D in Rolls Royce colors
* DH.125 Srs 1 which is the first production aircraft
* DH106 Comet 1A has the fuselage complete and is often used for testing at Farnborough after it was taken off service and is now in restoration
* DH98 Mosquito I prototype on display in Walter Goldsmith Hangar. It has been completely restored externally
* DH98 Mosquito TT (B) 35 is actually a movie star, so to speak, as it was flown in the Mosquito Squadron 571 with Squadron markings.

These are only a few of the wonderful and unique aircraft that can be viewed at the museum. The museum also offers various engines and aircraft in different stages of restoration. You and your children will love this historic aircraft exhibit, as well restoration workshop and all the hard work that goes into recreating these machines.
