Today Gaz and I headed off from an overnight near Cambridge to this museum at Hatfield. A communication breakdown meant he headed off down the M11 and I took the A1 but we arrived at more or less the same time so no harm done.
As the name suggests the museum is dedicated to all things De Havilland although pride of place goes to three complete Mosquitos together in one hangar, including the original prototype. The survival of a WWII prototype is indeed a pretty rare thing. I was last at this museum a good many years ago since when it has expanded and the latest new hangar opened not so long ago. There are a mixture of aircraft inside and out with the usual artefact displays documenting De Havilland history.
Staff were friendly and there is a little tea room are if you need refreshments.
