Latinbear Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 That is a lovely set of images of a subject not seen very often. Pin sharp too. The two sunset shots are my favourites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a few more of my favourite images from the evening: 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 We deliver to a pub in the village and I keep meaning to call into the airfield for a quick gander. I might just do it next time I'm down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 The museum is small, but very informative and definitely worth a visit when you're next in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Gorgeous work, some of them would look great as really big, framed prints 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancunian airman Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Can we see a few more of the buildings I love the fact that they are original and are of great interest to me Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen. I'm pleased you like them. I must admit that I'm more of a fast jet guy, but thoroughly enjoyed being so close to these wonderful machines at such an historic location. Ian, I will have a look at my images and post any more of the buildings that I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Fabulous range of shots , beautifully clear. I'm with the Mancunian Modeller too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi Ian and Horatio I have reviewed my images, and unfortunately didn't take too many of the buildings. The accommodation blocks and some of the other buildings due for conservation were cordoned off for safety reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I have just taken a look at the Stow Maries museum website, and there are some nice images of a selection of the surviving buildings with commentary on the conservation programme. http://www.stowmaries.org.uk/aerodrome-history/conservation-programme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancunian airman Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Very much appreciate the time taken to seek out the photos, like the MT garage with the vehicles and the 'Control' building. I am sure to want to visit the place within the 100th anniversary years of WW1 and see ' how it was' ; and of course, the 100th year since the birth of the Royal Air Force (1st April 1918) kindest regards Ian Edited May 9, 2017 by Mancunian airman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 You're welcome, Ian. I'm sorry that I didn't have more images of the buildings. I highly recommend a visit to Stow Maries when you have the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
