QUICK OVERVIEW
The de Havilland Aircraft Museum, Salisbury Hall, Shenley, London Colney AL2 1BU
The Museum is located next to Salisbury Hall in the Hertfordshire countryside just off Junction 22 of the M25 and outside the ULEZ. With lovely wide open spaces and free parking, there is a small cafe serving hot drinks, sandwiches, pastries & cakes with outdoor picnic tables and a lovely shop stocked with models, diecasts, books, clothing and branded merchandise. We have two huge hangars (the Walter Goldsmith Hangar and the Geoffrey de Havilland Hangar) with most of our collection undercover protecting you and our artefacts from the weather. There is a third hangar (the Amy Johnson Hangar) where you can view our volunteer restoration teams at work. There is an outdoor grass aircraft park with eight other aircraft, some of which we try to make available to visitors when the ground is dry and firm.
