Descrição: This is a virtual flight of a de havilland Dove 6 at British Aerospace Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England finished with some photos of the real thing (a Dove 8, used as the 'company hack'to fly personnel between BAe factories). I worked at Hatfield from 1981 until it closed in 1993/4. Eight years in the Flight Test hangar (featured in the vid) then four years in Technical Publications on BAe 146 Service Bulletins and Pilot's Flight Manual. 5000 people worked there, now it's all houses, Uni buildings and industrial units. The Flight Test hangar, being a listed building, is still there on the outside but is actually a sports complex inside. Shame, when considering the hangar gave birth to world-renound aircraft such as: the DH Moth range like the Tiger Moth; the DH Comet Racer, winner of the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race; the first jet airliner in the world, the DH Comet and the fastest bomber in World War 11, the de Havilland Mosquito, to name but few.
