I loved being able to get really close to the exhibits.

As a Hertfordshire lad by birth, I should have known about this place years ago. But glad I’ve found it now. Many have described it as a ‘Gem’ and it really is. It’s so important that the memory and history of the great De Havilland organisation is remembered and passed on to future generations.

Amazing seeing all the history and the workmanship that goes into the restoration of all the planes. It really is a hands on experience and the volunteers really make this place special. Definitely will return when the new hangar is finished.

If you are interested in the history of aviation in the UK then this is an absolute must visit place. It follows the history of the Dr Havilland family’s passion for flying developing into manufacturing their own airplanes.

Touching the last remaining part of a Sea Hornet was very special

My son enjoyed himself particularly sitting in the planes and the guide in Hangar E was very informative and helpful.

You can see the aircraft being restored and interesting exhibits.

It was a very good opportunity to learn about British aviation history and very enjoyable for kids too. I will definitely recommend this museum. True that it could be better kept, but definitely worth it for the aviation enthusiast.

A truly great collection and friendly, enthusiastic volunteers.

I liked the Horsa Glider and ability to go into cockpits
