It is one of the original buildings built in 1933 on the north side of the A505 road, and still has the faint outlines of two tone camouflage paint on its exterior. Across the road is a small original wooden ship lad building no bigger than 20' x 30 ' which has been rebuilt on site, and is the original De Havilland designers workshop brought up piece by piece from Surrey, where
Moths, Bulldog, Tiger Moths, Chipmunks, and all things De Havilland including the DH82A.

Some history De Havilland has, with the Sea Vixen/Vampire and many more besides.
