The de Havilland aircraft museum wins approval to keep hangar and outdoor displays
Briefly

The de Havilland Aircraft Museum has been granted permanent planning permission by Hertsmere Borough Council to retain a temporary marquee and display aircraft outdoors. Originally opened in 1968, the museum celebrates the legacy of de Havilland, known for innovative designs like the Mosquito fighter. The marquee is essential for educational visits and events, and after the pandemic, its use was justified despite the council's Green Belt regulations. This decision prioritizes the museum's educational role, recognizing its community benefits over conventional land use restrictions.
