The Hatfield Aerodrome Heritage Trail was officially opened on 24th November. University of Hertfordshire Professor Owen Davies, who co-ordinated the project, led Hatfield Town Mayor Linda Clark and a group of former employees and current residents around part of the trail. The complete trail features ten information boards, located as shown here. An account of the project, images of the information boards and an aerial view (courtesy of Goodman, owner of the site) can be seen in our Article ‘Hatfield Aerodrome Heritage Trail’.
