De Havilland Musem, St Albans

[David Holman]

 Visited this splendid place today and well worth the journey. Mosquitos, Comets, Vampire jets and loads of other interesting displays that cover the people as well as the machines. Excellent guided tour too.

 The Mossie with the yellow underside is the original prototype, while the Vampire at the end is a 15 year restoration project done mostly by just one man.

2nd that, bit of of the way but great set up. Got to sit in a Sea Vixen there too!

The last one is a Sea Venom, Not a Vampire.

Indeed. Thanks for the Venom correction George. The pictures don't really show that it is now a nearly finished kit of parts, just waiting to be assembled. A truly remarkable solo project
