Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome is the only near-complete World War One aerodrome in England. The aerodrome (I didn't know the difference between aerodrome and airfield until this visit) has the largest known surviving group of Royal Flying Corps buildings on a WW1 aerodrome anywhere in the country. It's home to remarkable aircraft, fascinating history and engaging and inspiring stories of remarkable people who pioneered aircraft use in this country.
Andrew, our guide for the visit, brought the history to life with informed and engaging stories, facts and insights. The cafe is wonderfully corporate-free, delicious breakfasts and lunches, friendly, welcoming and accommodating. And the shop & museum are excellent. It's a wonderful place to visit, hidden, and well-worth finding. Fantastic ..... we'll be back.
