Brief Description:
The De Havilland museum is a working museum and the oldest aircraft museum in the UK. Dedicated to the preservation of De Havilland Aircraft. A new hangar was opened in 2020, with a lift to its first floor (buttons need to be kept press to activate lift), and photographs for these appear at the start of our gallery sequence for this venue, followed by photographs of other exhibits taken prior to 2020. Other improvements have resulted in most of the collection now being under cover to provide a better environment for the exhibits and visitors
