In its heyday, RFC Stow Maries - later, RAF Stow Maries - was a centre for early aviation and air defence, battling first Zeppelins and then fixed wing Heavy Bombers sent by Imperial Germany to attack England.
For all its operational life, until May 1919, its pilots and crew were airborne as much as they could be, protecting and patrolling the skies above Essex and the region.
All the time while the battle raged above Essex, it burned across the world. Across the fields of Europe - and underneath them.
At this event, we gather the finest Living Historians from across the country at our unique site to give you a chance to wandewr amongst the camps and soldiers, immersing yourself in their stories, get hands on with the equipment and really understand the many, many complex stories that made up this terrible war.
Terrible. Exciting. Devastating. Adventourous. Thrilling. Sobering.
Please note: this is NOT an air event.
