On 25 April, the de Havilland Aircraft Museum (DHAM) announced the allocation of £1.9 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund towards construction of a large new hangar at the Salisbury Hall, Hertfordshire site. Among the significant airframes that will be housed in it are the oldest DH106 Comet fuselage in existence, from Series 1A F-BGNX, built at Hatfield in 1953 for Air France. Planning permission for the hangar was granted by Hertsmere Council back in 2016.
