de Havilland Model Railway Society
The de Havillands Company
|
The de Havilland Model Railway Society was originally formed by a group employees at the de Havillands company's Hatfield site. Consequently we still have strong interest in the de Havilland company, it's Canadian offshoot and the aerospace industry in general. | |||||||||||
|
Over the years de Havilland's at its Hatfield site have produced many famous aircraft which have become part of history. Illustrated below are just a few of samples of these famous aircraft. Some of the actual de Havilland aircraft can be seen nearby at the
Salisbury Hall, South Mimms on the B556 near Junction 22 of the M25. http://www.dehavillandmuseum.co.uk/ |
