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.
With a variety of award-winning exhibitions, housed in our original WW1 buildings and modern hangars.
These include a variety of interactives, dioramas and displays.
Opened in 1916, Stow Maries was home to B Flight of No 37(HD) Squadron, Royal Flying Corps.
It played a pivotal role in the Air Defence of Great Britain during the first raids by Zeppelins and Gotha bombers.
On 1 April 1918, it was at Stow Maries that No 37 Squadron transitioned from the Royal Flying Corps to the Royal Air Force.
The aerodrome continued its crucial role until May 1919, after which it returned to its farming roots.
