What a handsome aircraft

‘De Havilland Week’

Another Rapide HG691 at Imperial War Museum Duxford that we haven’t seen since a deflated tyre caused it to flip on to its nose a couple of seasons ago - I have no information as to its current status or when it will return to the air ⁦Imperial War Museums⁩

Dr Ron Thanks - its taking shape quite quickly now. Added on the oil tank this morning and nearly finished the main tank and petrol feed. One the externals are finished I will add in the cockpit with the window. Door blisters next though.

Archive Sketcher Very nice!

Come to the de Havilland Aircraft Museum and see our Horsa glider and look at the restoration work that is being carried out.

Most of the main features are in place and today the engine compartment has ben progressing. Cockpit was a bit fiddly balancing the three triangles with curvature.

Come to the de Havilland Aircraft Museum and have a look at our 3 #woodenwonder Mosquitos. The Prototype, the Film Star and the FBVI.

The original sound of Mosquito (the most versatile plane of #WW2 ) engines. #HISTORY (Enjoy!)

On this #mossiemonday we want to thank all our visitors for joining us last Saturday as we rolled out our stunning FBVI. Your presence made this rollout truly special. We are grateful for your support and enthusiasm. Here's to the exciting journey ahead.

Comet 4s For RAF (1962)

Five 4C aircraft were delivered to 216 Sqn at Lyneham, which already operated the Comet 2. It was known in service as the C4, and retired in 1975.

“A hundred men, where they are wanted, are better than a thousand 50 miles away” - as true today as then.

Tomorrow, Sunday the 14th, the de Havilland Aircraft Museum is delighted to be hosting the Oakley Motorcycle Club Milton Keynes. Come to the museum and have a look and see. There is also a lot of DeHavilland memorabilia to see including the prototype Mosquito. #woodenwonder

The FBVI was rolled out this morning. Here she is basking in the Spring Sunshine. 🙂

Up Close and personal...

A rare look at the cockpit of a freshly restored de Havilland Mosquito PZ474, which was completed in 2019.

de Havilland DH.83 Fox Moth

Contemporary drawings published in 'Flight' and 'The Aeroplane' are very valuable for providing structural details - often easier to follow than photos. These illustrations are providing detail of the DH.83 U/C starting with the main leg.
