Rod's Aviation Photos ↔ UK ↔ Museums

De Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre, Hertfordshire

Incorporating the Mosquito Aircraft Museum, it is now called the De Havilland Aircraft Museum, and commonly referred to as Salisbury Hall. My visit was in September 2000.

The airliner in the background of some of the the outdoor photos is Comet 1A F-BGNX. Initially used by Air France, after the Comet crashes of 1954 it was returned to Farnborough. Though registered G-AOJT, it never flew again.
