Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome Autumn Air: October Fly-in

  • Sat 12 Oct 2024

  • 10AM - 3PM

A chance for pilots and visitors to get together and enjoy the last few days of clear skies at our Museum.

Calling all aviation fans - or even, complete strangers to aviation!

Our Autumn Air Fly-in is a perfect chance to catch a peak at the aircraft that fly throughout our area, all the time raising vital funds for our museum.

As you enjoy your visit to our site, strolling around the galleries and exhibitions, aircraft will be landing and parking up with metres of you on our flight line.

While there will be no aerial displays, this a great chance to see our museum at its best - with aircraft rolling down the strips.

Not only do you get to enjoy the aircraft, but your admission gains you all the benefits of enjoying our award-winning exhibitions, hangars and tours. All for the regular admission fee!

All Air activity is weather-dependant.
