DHAeTS Stag Lane and Kingsbury
The de Havilland Aeronautical Technical School was formed in 1928 at the de Havilland Aircraft Company works at Stag Lane, Edgware. During and immediately after World War Two the basic training workshops were relocated to the Vanden Plas works nearby at Kingsbury. This article presents a brief history of the early days of the School and recounts the recollections of students over the years 1932 to 1959. First published in September 2011, it was updated to Issue 2, with two new pages, in January 2013. Minor editorial changes were made in January 2014.

- Have during my time 49/54 met chaps from the satellite wartime factories in the Edgware area but there were more ie? Kempis biscuit factory? Camileatone! and car mart. There was heavy bombing in that area and nearby stone bridge park? There were Merlin test beds at parknroyal r.y.
