About This File
FS2004 Scenery--Hatfield Aerodrome. The de Havilland / Hawker Siddeley / British Aerospace factory that opened in 1930 as a flying club and closed in 1993. Famous types such as the Comet racer, Mosquito, Comet airliner, Trident, HS125 and BAe 146 were designed or built here. Additionally, the Manor Road site made propellers, engines (piston, jets and rockets) and even an ICBM which went on to form the basis for the European space program. Latterly the site designed the Airbus A300 and A310 wings. By Toby Vickers.
