	De Havilland
		De Havilland Aircraft Company was founded in 1920 by Geoffrey de Havilland, who renamed the company, Airco, at which he had previously been chief designer, and which he now controlled.
		De Havilland (Canada) was formed in 1928 to build Moth aircraft in which to train Canadian airmen, continued after the war to build its own designs suited to the harsh Canadian operating environment.
		De Havilland (Canada) was eventually incorporated into the Bombardier group of companies and the Dash Eight remains in production with a particular emphasis being placed on its quiet operational character in comparison to other aircraft of a similar size.

	Dynavector's de Havilland Hornet
		de Havilland's Hornet is arguably (unarguably in my case!) the most beautiful piston twin ever to take to the air.
		The last Hornets were broken up for scrap in around 1957-8 (some with less than 10 hours on the airframe!) and it is to the eternal detriment of aviation history that not a single intact airframe survived- not even in static condition.
		A flick through the Hornet file soon turned up an 80 Squadron machine which was camoflaged with blue undersides, and as this was exactly what I wanted, I determined that this was to be the subject of my model.

	[3.0] Hornet & Sea Hornet / Variant Summary
		The Hornet was powered by twin Rolls-Royce Merlins, which unlike the Merlins fitted to the Mosquito were "handed", with a "Merlin 130" on one side and a "Merlin 131" on the other, both rated at 1,515 kW (2,030 HP) and fitted with Hydromatic four-blade variable-pitch propellers.
		The last Hornets were built with an F.52 camera vertically mounted in the rear fuselage, with a fuel tank downsized to accommodate it.
		Heston Aircraft modified two Hornet F.3s to meet the specification, adding an ASH radar thimble in the nose, flame dampers on the exhausts, a small bubble-type canopy on the rear fuselage for a navigator / radar operator, and a larger tailplane assembly to compensate for the second canopy.

	DeHavilland Hornet / Sea Hornet Review by Steven Eisenman (Classic Airframes 1/48)
		De Havilland continued to privately work on a scaled down version of the Mosquito using the small profile Merlin engine with the intended purpose being a long-range fighter for the Pacific theatre.
		It was not until 1955 that the Hornet was removed from combat, nearly a decade after it was first assigned to Number 64 Squadron.
		The difference is that the Sea Hornet kits comes with an additional package of resin and rear canopy to be used for the NF.21 night-fighter version.

	Gevechtsvliegtuigen, de De Havilland Sea Hornet
		De Sea Hornet was een marineversie van de Hornet van de Britse luchtmacht, die op zijn beurt gebaseerd was op de beroemde Mosquito uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog.
		Na de eerste vlucht op 28 juli 1944 werden in februari 1945 de eerste van de in totaal 60 Hornet F.1 toestellen aan de squadrons van de Royal Air Force afgeleverd, en daarmee kwamen ze te laat om nog te kunnen deelnemen aan de strijd in Europa.
		De Sea Hornet, waarvan het prototype zijn eerste vlucht in april 1945 voltooide, bezat opklapbare vleugels, een vanghaak, een voor boordlanding aangepast landingsgestel en een voor zeebewaking geschikte boordradar.

	deHavilland Hornet F.1 by John Valo (Classic Airframes 1/48)
		Using redesigned small-frontal-section Merlin engines, the Hornet took the elegance of the Mosquito and refined it to aesthetic perfection.
		With aerobatic performance described by Captain Eric Brown as 'sheer exhilarating joy', the Hornet was one of a handful of airplanes that defined the pinnacle of piston-engined fighter development.
		The scribing on the Hornet kit is excellent, on a par with the CA S.79 Sparviero, and every bit as crisp as any other 'major' manufacturer.

	Hawker de Havilland - Current Military Projects
		Hawker de Havilland was selected to improve the design and reduce manufacturing cost for the dorsal fin of the Enhanced Sea Sparrow missile.
		Flaps are required to be resistant to high cycle fatigue, to have a minimum operational life of 30,000 hours or 30 years, to be interchangeable with flaps of earlier models, to weigh no more than metal flaps and to preserve bending and torsional stiffness properties of metal flaps.
		Hawker de Havilland were able to design, develop and produce the first shipment of these items for Lockheed within a 12 month time span.

		On arrival he noticed a twin engine Hornet painted silver and decorated with blue and white checks around the cowlings and blue and white spinners.
		His heart leapt and for a moment he thought he was back in April 1947 for, on the screen, in front of him was the very same Hornet as he had seen so many years ago.
		On entering the cockpit the panel resembled, as close as it is possible to get, the real thing, a tour around the outside it was very difficult to believe that this was only a model on a computer.

	De Havilland - Hatfield
		In January 1934 a Notice To Airmen (NOTAM) announced the closure of Stag Lane but it was not until 28 July that de Havilland took off in a Hornet Moth in the last flight from the airfield.
		His age and the complexity of modern aircraft meant that he could no longer do as much test flying as he had and that aircraft design had to be handled by a large team.
		The success of the American airliners in the MacRobertson race made de Havilland realise that the airline market was changing.

	AirToAirCombat.Com: de Havilland F.3 Hornet Details
		The "DH.103 Hornet", as it would be known, was intended for the Pacific theater, where the great ocean spaces made long range a requirement.
		De Havilland worked with Rolls-Royce to obtain a slim-profile version of the Merlin engine for the Hornet, and with a design for this engine in hand, de Havilland was able to show a mockup of the Hornet to the Ministry of Air Production in January 1943.
		Production of the F.3 was switched to the de Havilland plant at Chester in 1948.

	AirToAirCombat.Com: de Havilland F.20 Sea Hornet Details
		Even before the first Hornet prototype flew, de Havilland had been considering a carrier-based version for the FAA.
		Dimensions were the same as for the Hornet, and surprisingly the empty weight was almost the same, despite the carrier kit fitted to the aircraft.
		The Sea Hornet F.20 reached formal Royal Navy service in June 1947 with Number 801 Squadron, and a total of 78 F.20s were built.

	De Havilland Hornet Moth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hornet Moth was a cabin biplane produced by de Havilland, designed as a trainer and touring aircraft.
		The original Hornet Moth was built with tapering wings, but these were found to cause problems, especially when landing in three-point attitude: there was a tendency for the tips to stall, causing embarrassment to the pilot and often damage to the aeroplane.
		de Havilland offered owners of the DH87A replacement wings of the new squarer shape at a reduced price in exchange for the original wings.

		When I made that comment about the Hornet not being a night fighter, I was referring to the hornet as shown in Romantic Technofreak's original posting.
		The Sea Hornet just required too much modification of the optimum basic design for it to retain the performance characteristics of the original fighter.
		Posted - July 13 2005 : 5:50:46 PM I'm biased because I think the Hornet is one of the most beautiful planes ever to fly - except for the night-fighter version which looks hideous.
