Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome, Maldon Essex
Stow Maries WW 1 RAF Aerodrome Essex England - 2018
MALDON ESSEX ENGLAND July 6, 2018 Stow Maries airfield is Englands only WW 1 airfield intact and fully operational. In fact it is not known of any other in the world! Acquired privately ten years ago it is gradually being restored as it was in 1918. Luckily after WW i it reverted back to the farming family who retained most of the buildings for storing crops with just the odd hole made bigger to get farm machinery in! A definite must view Museum

Visit Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome in Essex:
The Royal Flying Corps and later the Royal Air Force maintained aerodromes and airfields around Great Britain for defence against German Zeppelin and Gotha Bomber raids. But would a WW1 aerodrome actually work?

Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome Volunteers
A video showing all there is to know about volunteering at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome
Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome
Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome on 19th and 20th Aug 2017. This was operational from 1916-19. In 2013 it got a 1.5 million pound lottery grant to do the place up.
Now the 24 listed buildings are gradually being made nice to preserve the history. Next year will be a big year as 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the formation of the RAF.
As you go in a guide will take a group of you around once a 'squadron' of you have formed up (my words, not theirs). You get taken to the memorial which display the names of ten young men who died there. In fact out of 14,000 aircrew deaths 8,000 were due to accidents. They had no parachutes in the early years, plus most accidents happened at low level. Dangerous times.
Then you get to see the buildings, some in better repair than others. When you go inside some dioramas have been made, some representing the Zepplins and their attacks, the whole reason this aerodrome was set up. The airships used to track the rivers, so the airfields were based near to them. The tour takes about 45 mins to an hour.
Plenty more to see and do, and you can even eat in the Aircrew's Mess (so to speak).
Sometimes a plane might even land as it is operational today.
Many of the planes are movie props. Many function. The SE5a is 7/8th scale so a smaller engine can be used.
'Zeppelin Attack' is actually a Gotha Aircraft nose I think.
Music is from Ripper Street TV series.
Internet search 'Calvertfilm'.
CRHnews - Saving Stow Maries Great War aerodrome
Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome was established in September 1916 as a base for 37 (Home Defence) Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, which also operated from aerodromes at Rochford (today London Southend International Airport) and Goldhanger (long since disappeared).
For two years it played a pivotal role in helping to defend the British mainland from attacks by German Zeppelin airships and Gotha fixed-wing bombers during World War One.
37 Squadron transitioned from the Royal Flying Corps to the Royal Air Force on 1 April 1918 when the independent air service was formed and it remained on station until 1919 when it transferred to RAF Biggin Hill.
Thereafter the aerodrome reverted to agricultural use, leaving behind a unique collection of historic buildings still in their original form, surrounded by abundant wildlife. The farmland was owned by Flambirds Farm, reputedly the inspiration for K.M. Peyton’s ‘Flambards’ books and subsequent television series.
During the interwar period the wooden buildings were removed and in subsequent years a handful of brick buildings were demolished or collapsed. The site fell increasingly into disrepair and was largely forgotten until the late 1970s when local historians and military aviation enthusiasts recognised its importance. The Royal Commission for Historic Monuments (England) carried out a survey of the site and published its report in 1997.
In 2007, the 79-acre site and all the 24 crumbling buildings (the only ones surviving out of the 47 from 1919) were purchased by a small commercial company building and maintaining high performance sports cars, run by Russell Savory, a former motor racing engineer.
They renovated the RFC Engine and Doping Workshops for their business use but the pull of the site's history was too strong just to do that so work began conserving other buildings and reinstating the grass landing strip. In addition a small museum was created and the Airmen’s Mess Hall was conserved to support the museum and provide a centre for community use.
In December 2010, a memorial to those killed in the line of duty was erected at the aerodrome, paid for by public subscription. The site was designated a Conservation Area in 2010 and in August 2012 the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport approved the listing of all 24 buildings Grade II*.
Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome Ltd
In late 2012 the site was again put up for sale and a campaign was launched by Russell Savory, supported by Essex County Council and Maldon District Council, to acquire it for the nation and ensure its long-term preservation.
In December 2013, Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome Ltd completed the purchase of the site, with support from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, English Heritage and the two councils.
Now a major conservation project is under way. Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome Ltd has charitable status (Charity no. 1151099), with the objectives of preserving the fabric of Stow Maries World War One Aerodrome for the public benefit and advancing the education of the public in the history of the aerodrome, World War One and the natural history of the surrounding countryside.

STOW MARIES WWI ROYAL FLYING CORPS AERODROME - ESSEX, ENGLAND
Stow Maries WWI Aerodrome, Hackmans Lane, Purleigh, Essex, England. This is the largest surviving WWI aerodrome in Europe. It has approx 20 buildings. We went there on Easter Sunday 31st March 2013 for a visit. It is excellent! With Restoration, Conservation, Education, and Research as their main aims, Russell Savory, (part owner), and the amazing team of volunteers provide a unique, (and it is unique - there IS nothing else like this anywhere), view on the past of this great aerodrome and the people who lived and flew from there. It is well worth a visit and to support them as much as you can.

STOW MARIES GREAT WAR AERODROME FPV FLIGHT 16 SEPT 2019
Managed to get a flight over the Great War Aerodrome in Essex, UK, the only preserved WW1 airfield in Europe. I was not flying my model on this occasion, I wore the goggles in passenger mode, and was a lot of fun! it was kindly flown L.O.S. by Glenn Mason, one of the participants in the Battle of Britain - Model Squadron om UK television. This flight took place after the large scale model fly in had finished.
My Trinity headtracking module was drifting badly, this had been getting worse over preceding months, so I changed the board out in my goggles today.

History of Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome
Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome is a unique place, with a unique history. Its story covers 100 years of life comprising feverish excitement interspersed with periods of calm and tranquillity. The aerodrome lies to the east of Chelmsford and west of Maldon, Essex, within an area of gently-rolling farmland. It is the largest known surviving group of RFC buildings on a WWI aerodrome which was not adapted for further military use later in its history. When considered with its growing collection of objects directly related to the site and its activities, a truly unique resource is evident.
Originally opened in 1916 as home to B Flight of No 37(HD) Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, the aerodrome saw the birth of the Air Defence of Great Britain in response to the first raids by Zeppelins and Gotha bombers on London and the South East.
It played a key role in the Battle for Britain (the first London Blitz) the following year. It was at Stow Maries that No 37 Squadron transitioned from the Royal Flying Corps to the Royal Air Force on 1 April 1918.
It continued in its dedicated role until Spring 1919 – when the RAF closed its doors forever.
The site reverted to Flambirds Farm and its age-old farming role. The existing buildings were repurposed or converted to residential and agricultural use and the airfield turned over to pasture.
