Hi
This was the first time I have been to Stow Maries.
Only a small one hour flying display but delightful with all aircraft well within reach of a lens of up to 400 mm on a 1.6 crop camera and plenty of top side passes.
The sun came out much of the time to make an appearance between the gaps in the displays!
The Nieuport was about to do a display but unfortunately had to land shortly due to an engine problem and will be out for a little while.
The BE2 did a ground engine run and at some stage this year obtain a permit to display
Will upload some more pics tomorrow.
Thanks for looking.

Nice set of pictures Martin, and well done to Kevin for handling ATC duties again.
We paid a visit on Wednesday, and were impressed at the progress they have made at the airfield.
What used to be the car workshops of Russell Savory, is now the entrance, shop and museum. I must say the museum is very well laid out.
The airfield is very quiet and peaceful, but we were lucky to get into the cafe when we did, as it was about to be invaded by 100 women
from the WI, who had a special event laid on.
My only disappointment was not being able to walk around the wildlife area. This was due to ongoing construction work, and a film crew
doing some photography, or so I was told. Although we did manage to catch a glimpse of a water vole in the pond next to the shop.
