On September 25th 1945, the de Havilland Dove flew for the first time. That'll be 75 years this year!

de Havilland Aircraft Company Limited was incorporated 26 September 1920, That'll be 100 years this year.

I think both are worth mention, and knowing very little about the company might I ask if there would be any interest in a group-build? I might give it a go as member of the moderators, but would like it a lot if someone with a deeper knowledge to things de Havilland would step forward and form the group.

It's definitely a great idea for a GB. I am currently busy with the Trumpeter 1/48 DH Hornet. A kit that needs a lot of errors corrected to build an acceptable rendition of arguably the sleekest DH fighter emerging from WW II.

Well, that'll make four of us already 🙂
If noone else will blow the horn, I may have to, but I still would like to invite someone with the knowledge to take care of the daily running of such a group. Anyway, lets hear it - are there more happy modelers that would be interested in such a group?

I have one I could build. It's a very common variant, but I plan to do a slightly unusual (but factual) scheme. However I can't make any commitments with regards to completion time.

I'm in. If I can't build something in a year I will turn in my Exacto and sandpaper. :o)

Brilliant idea!
A year seems perfect, but, should yu decide upon another time frame, I will not bother at all!
Waiting for your starting flag Herr Administrator @airbum!

Nice Beaver Erik, I have a head start on two, the Sea Venom is 95 % finished, also plenty more still in boxes, a year is a good time frame !

Indeed that is my intention George (@gblair) - and maybe someone will have a de Havilland Australia Drover to build. With their full 100 years it is my opinion that their branches in Australia and Canada is a part of the history of the company.
