The de Havilland DH.103 Hornet was a piston engined fighter that further exploited the wooden construction techniques pioneered by de Havilland classic Mosquito. Entering service at the end of the WWII the Hornet equipped postwar Fighter Command day fighter units in the UK and was later used successfully as a strike fighter in Malaya. The Sea Hornet was a carrier-capable version. This very pleasing looking aircraft was also a popular aircraft with pilots,
Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown, former fighter pilot and officer of the Fleet Air Arm was one of the world's most accomplished test pilots and was quoted "...the next two months of handling and deck landing assessment trials were to be an absolute joy; from the outset the Sea Hornet was a winner!"
