As you may know, Stow Maries Aerodrome held a full size Vintage Fly In on the 8th May from 9am till 6pm and model flying was allowed when the visiting aircraft had all arrived safely.

The AMFC also ran a FUN FLY event on the day, with competitions for 'Pylon racing, climb and glide, and spot landing' with Prizes, so a great day out for all the family and was a chance to test your flying skills against others!

"Vintage aircraft have been invited to attend and will arrive in the morning. They will remain on a static flight line until they depart later in the day. There will be ample opportunities for general aviation enthusiasts to photograph and view the assembled aircraft as well as a display by WW1 re enactors in a camp. The event will also feature a display of military vehicles, guided tours of the site and to celebrate its farming history a number of vintage farm machines. Refreshments and toilets will be available and a selection of traders stalls for your perusal.
 
Aircraft that have been invited to attend include the Great War Display Team, the only Airco DH2 flying in Europe, a Fokker Triplane, a 7/8 scale Fokker Eindekker, a Sopwith Pup, Tiger Moths and a 1945 Auster. Other aircraft may join this list. Because of the flying characteristics and limitations of these types of aircraft, we are of course dependant on the weather and servicibility on the day.
 
There will be a wildlife display and a chance to meet a Harris Hawk with the Hawk Walk team."
