New Signs of the Times

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

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.

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.

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

Ease of access to exhibits, so many aircraft open. Very relaxed atmosphere and great quality of information.

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.

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

You can see the aircraft being restored and interesting exhibits.
