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.

I liked the Horsa Glider and ability to go into cockpits

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

A truly great collection and friendly, enthusiastic volunteers.

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

I especially liked the planes you could go into which showed how people used to travel by air!! There are lots of curators around who are only too pleased to give information on the history of the various exhibits. Well worth the entrance fee!

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

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.

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

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.
