Stow Maries WW1 Aerodrome fly-in photos

Good to see I wasn’t the only one there!

It is less than 20 miles from home and I had been meaning to go for a long time. They were pushed for parking space but had arranged a special bus service from extra parking in Maldon. As Maldon is probably close to 30 miles from home I made sure I got there early to get a space at the airfield. Got a bit delayed because the Google Maps directions sent me on a route which left me within about a quarter of a mile of the airfield on a road with a sign saying no access to Stow Maries airfield.It took me another 40 mins to find the right route.
There was still the odd car arriving at about 3pm when I left!
The Titan T-51 is based at Damyns Hall. The pilot also owns a Fokker E111 replica, which I assume is the one which was a Stow Maries along with a Pitts S-1.

Great pics. Totally forgot the Titan T-51 was a two-seater.

Good to see I wasn’t the only one there! Sky High, there’s another open day on 11th September which hopefully will be even more popular than this past one

A few from Stow Maries on Sunday. More in an album if you click on my user name. I am sorry they are not all up to the standard of some here but it was only the 3rd time I have ever used this camera and was the first attempt at some flying shots so I didn’t think they were too bad. Learnt some lessons for next time including how to adjust the metering and how to recognise when I have dust on the camera sensor!

Thanks for the pictures – I really hope to get up there this Summer – they are doing a marvellous job.:)

Thanks for sharing. Take away the red/white tape 😀 and some of the other non period items in the background and it certainly has the right look and feel about it :).
