Refurbishment of a sectioned de Havilland Gipsy Major I petrol engine is nearing completion at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum at Salisbury Hall, London Colney. The unit, which does not have a serial number, is believed to have been built by de Havilland at its Hatfield factory in the early 1940s for use as an instructional engine at its Aeronautical Technical Training School. It is thought to have been used to teach company apprentices about the workings of aero engines, and about how to dismantle them.
