About
A day dedicated to aviation, with historic aircraft in the air (weather permitting) and flight-based activities on the ground. Highlights of this year's show include a scheduled visit from the only airworthy Airco DH-9 in the world. This WW1 bomber is truly one-of-a-kind, carefully restored to its former glory after being found in a dilapidated state in 2000, hidden in an elephant stable at the Imperial Fort and Royal Palace in Bikaner, India. It is expected to be flying in formation with other celebrated WW1 aircraft, including a Nieuport, an Albatros and a Fokker.
Also making an appearance (weather permitting) is Mk9 Spitfire LZ842, the only one of its kind still flying that was originally painted in desert camouflage, and the only Spitfire flying in the world with a Rolls Royce Merlin 62 engine. After seeing service in Casablanca, Malta, Corsica and France, the aircraft languished as scrap for decades before being fully restored and starting displays this year.
In addition, there will be classic barnstorming action from the Stampe Team in their open cockpit, aerobatic biplanes; low-level flying including flour bombing from the Turbulent Team; and the formidable Tiger Nine group piloting their nine Tiger Moth aircraft in formation. With a barbecue, bar and children’s activities, The Stow Maries Air Show is a fantastic day out for the whole family. Tickets must be bought in advance
