About

During WW1, RFC Stow Maries battled first Zeppelins and then fixed wing Heavy Bombers.

For all its operational life, until May 1919, its pilots and crew were protecting and patrolling the skies above Essex and the region.

Come along to learn all about what life was like for these intrepid sorts, their ground crew and the many other roles that worked so hard to keep the aircraft flying, by chatting with our guests, the Lufberys RFC Living History Group. (NB This is NOT an air event.)

Tickets valid all weekend, under 11s are free!
