Leaving a Legacy

Donations and Leaving a Legacy

The de Havilland Aircraft Museum’s mission is to preserve and communicate the de Havilland heritage to ensure that current and future generations of all ages will understand de Havilland’s contribution to innovative British aviation technology.

You can show your support for the museum in a variety of ways, such as donations, including us in your will, or by purchasing a comemorative plaque.

Help us to Preserve our Heritage

Leaving a legacy or making a donation to the de Havilland Aircraft Museum will help us preserve some of Britain’s most iconic aircraft. These include the Mosquito, the Tiger Moth and the Comet – the world’s first jet airliner. For over half a century, the Hatfield based de Havilland Company was one of the largest employers in Hertfordshire. It remains a great source of pride for people in the area. Your gift will have a lasting impact by helping us to preserve these unique aviation artifacts.

Our museum is run by unpaid volunteers and funded by public donations. We will spend your gift wisely to help expand our site, restore more aircraft and inspire people of all ages.
