Stow Maries 12/10/2024

This was our final event of this year. So thanks to Ian and all the volunteers at Stow Maries for making us welcome as usual.

With all 45 incoming slots booked and a good weather forecast. The hopes were high for a busy day.

But the day was overcast grey but not to cold the rain held off to the end of the fly-in.

With only 17 aircraft able to make it in and with plenty of people through the gate. It turned into a very pleasant and enjoyable day for all involved.

This years "Children in Need" Airshow took place on 28/08/24 at Little Gransden Airfield.

Due to high crosswinds and grey skies, it kept the visitor numbers well down.

Also some of the display aircraft were affected and were no show`s, but in difficult conditions a good show was put on for all that attended.

28/08/2024

Stow Maries "Propwash" took place on Sunday 18th August 2024.

Good weather, a full program was completed with nearly all the slots taken.

A good size crowd was kept entertained.

Highlight of the day was the arrival of the Klemm L25 with only 10 hours flight time since 1935 !!!

21/08/2024

East Kirkby Airshow took place on Saturday 3rd August.

Again this year the weather didn`t play ball with low cloud and drizzle for the early part of the day, curtailing the number of visiting aircraft.

Eventually the weather cleared and a full airshow took place with only a few cancellations in the running order.

A sellout crowd enjoyed a great day out, as did we.

19/08/2024

Old Buckenham Airshow 27-28th July is one of the highlights of the season.

With a rich diversity of aircraft on display from electric aircraft to fast modern RAF jets.

A sold out show on 27th saw Typhoon and F35 Lightning showing off the versatility and with warbirds thrown in for good measure kept the packed crowd entertained.

One worth buying a ticket for next year !

24/07/2024

We covered the "Festival of Flight" at Old Warden for three days, 28th-30th June.

Always nice to be asked to help out here. With Friday being an evening airshow and hoping for the Edwardians to fly, but alas the breeze was to much for these vulnerable aircraft, but a good show in the evening sun.

Saturday and Sunday there were also airshows as well and very enjoyable they were too. With a scattering of visiting aircraft on all three days, all needing to be parked up.

Some very interesting aircraft arriving kept us on our toes !!

Thanks to JdM for the invite.

It is with great sadness that we post the passing of Michael Anderson on Friday 12th July, after loosing the battle against cancer.
Michael was a keen photographer and drone pilot, who loved his aviation, from the early days at The Squadron, North Weald to latterly at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome.
A keen marshaller always willing to help out. He will be sorely missed by us all.
From friends past and present.

Blue skies Michael. (1963-2024)

Another new venue for the team, this time being the Ascot Heliport (18-22/06/2024) for the Royal Ascot Horse races.

Having been asked to participate by The North Weald Aviation Support Services (https://northwealdaviationsupportservices.co.uk/) .

The Thursday being the busiest nearly 200 movements for "Ladies Day".

This years Blackbushe Air-Day 15/06/24 was very wet at times and curtailed a lot of the static and visiting aircraft from attending.

The star of the show N98TP Grumman Albatross HU-12B arriving on the Friday from it`s base at Southampton.

With the King`s fly-past the same we were lucky to get a 3 ship flypast from the RAF Chinooks. Better luck next year ? Hopefully the weather will play ball next year .

Tickets for this event were sold out in advance so a good attendance was on the cards.

Stow Maries 08/06/2024

We had a fly-in at this historic airfield with a reduced landing fee.

21 visiting aircraft made it in and with a lot of people through the gate which made this a success for Stow Maries.

They hope to have another one later in the year.
