u3a group has a guided tour
De Havilland Aircraft Museum的点评
点评：Finding locations to take our u3a industrial heritage group can be a challenge and it is a joy when a venue is welcoming and makes everything so easy.
We arrived for refreshments before splitting into two groups to tour the hangars. We learnt a huge amount about the history of the company, the design process, the learning moments (accidents!), the people and how it fitted into the wider societal changes.
It was amazing to learn the story of how the first Mosquito prototype was saved by a canny workshop manager so it did not end up on the bonfire. We marvelled at the bomb load the plane could carry and the number of variations which were built. Most of us could not imagine ever getting in through the door, let alone managing to fly, navigate and aim bombs within the cockpit.
But there were other planes too and as we walked through the fuselage of one of the Comet jet planes, it brought back memories of when aeroplane seats were comfortable, one had legroom and smoking was permitted (although we were all glad that was banned!).
The volunteers are all very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions - it was a thoroughly enjoyable visit and, once again, we all left knowing there were things that we had missed because there is just so much to take in.

翻译：寻找适合我们u3a工业遗产小组参观的场地可能并非易事，但如果场地热情好客，让一切变得轻松便捷，那就更令人欣喜了。
我们到达后享用了茶点，然后分成两组参观机库。我们深入了解了这家公司的历史、设计流程、学习时刻（比如事故！）、员工以及它如何融入更广泛的社会变革。
了解到第一架蚊式轰炸机原型机是如何被一位精明的车间经理拯救，从而避免被付之一炬的故事，真是令人惊叹。我们对这架飞机的载弹量以及其制造的各种型号感到惊叹。我们大多数人都无法想象自己能从驾驶舱的门进入，更不用说在驾驶舱内驾驶、导航和投弹了。
但还有其他飞机，当我们走过一架彗星喷气式飞机的机身时，回忆起飞机座椅舒适、腿部空间宽敞、允许吸烟的时代（尽管我们都很高兴当时禁止吸烟！）。
志愿者们都非常博学，并且很乐意回答问题——这是一次非常愉快的访问，再一次，我们都意识到我们错过了一些东西，因为有太多的东西需要吸收。
