Question Hatfield/De Havilland Photo Request

Hope this is the correct place to post - moderators please move if need be.

I am 22, and looking to buy one of the new apartments being built on the old Hatfield Airfield. My interest in aviation and its history has led to the following:

I would like to remember the airfield somewhat by having related black and white pictures framed or put onto canvas for display in my new home. I've checked all the usual sources, and am unable to find high-resolution scans of original photographs for this purpose. If anyone knows of good places to find such piccies, do please point me in the right direction!

Example (cropped by PPRuNe):


Thanks in advance...

Pop along to the de Havilland Museum at London Colney (just off J22 M25) they have a lot of photos (and some great exhibits), I am sure that for a donation you may get some good help there, they are an excellent bunch of volunteers.
I went around the factory as a young lad in the early '70s when they were building Tridents for CAAC

Great idea, WB! I did think of that, but their website suggested minimal photographs. I'm not to far away, and I think it'd be a great start. Thanks again!
