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.

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.

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

It’s great to have largely unrestricted access throughout the museum and exhibits.

We had a great visit and the kids really loved getting in the planes!

I think this was the big attraction for me. To be able to peer inside the prototype Mosquito was a real treat as was being able to get very close to the other 2 Mossies they have. As other people have said there are a number of aircraft outside and exposed to the elements and slowly deteriorating but the Museum know this and are fundraising for another hangar.

A truly great collection and friendly, enthusiastic volunteers.

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.

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.
