| In September 1939 the de Havilland Aircraft Company established the Mosquito design team in Salisbury Hall, London Colney, Hertfordshire, the Prototype Mosquito, E0234/W4050, subsequently being built in the adjacent buildings.
De Havillands left in 1947 and the Hall slipped into a derelict condition. However, in 1955 the Hall was taken in hand by an ex Royal Marine Major named Walter Goldsmith who restored it and opened it up to the public. He brought back the prototype Mosquito, E0234/W4050, as one of the attractions in 1959, an action which led to the establishment of the Mosquito Aircraft Museum. |
