The de Havilland DH.103 Hornet, developed by de Havilland, is a fighter aircraft driven by two piston engines. It further exploited the wooden construction techniques that had been pioneered by the de Havilland Mosquito. Development of the Hornet had started during the Second World War as a private venture.
A company specialising in the repair and restoration of early de Havilland aircraft was later relocated from Dungog by its then owner Ray Windred and has operated from a hangar on the airfield for over 30 years. [2] On 1 May 1994 at Luskintyre a Tiger Moth was to do a wing walking display for a group of canteen kids (kids with cancer).
The de Havilland Aircraft Museum, formerly the de Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre, is a volunteer-run aviation museum in London Colney, Hertfordshire, UK. [1]The Museum's mission is to preserve and communicate the de Havilland Heritage to ensure that current and future generations of all ages will understand de Havilland’s contribution to innovative British Aviation technology.
Aircraft on site and stored in the adjacent museum [1] include several Tiger Moths and other aircraft in the de Havilland family, such as the Fox Moth and a very rare [2] de Havilland Dragonfly. These aircraft are regularly flown. A replica of the Pither Monoplane was constructed and flown by CAC. [3]
