Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome

Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome is a unique grass airfield and historic WWI aerodrome in Essex, welcoming visiting pilots by prior permission. The main grass runway is 02/20, 640m × 60m, with the airfield at 185ft elevation. A secondary 15/33 runway (550m × 40m) is available only with specific prior permission.

PPR is essential and must be obtained by the pilot before arrival. Visiting aircraft are normally accepted Friday–Sunday, or by prior arrangement. Pilots should contact Southend Radar on 130.780 approximately 10 miles out, then Stow Maries Radio on 118.980 at 2 miles. Circuits are flown to the west only, with no deadside; circuit height is 800ft QFE.

The airfield offers a particularly memorable destination for visiting pilots, with the historic Airmen’s Mess Café, aviation museum and extensive WWI collections on site. A landing fee applies, currently £15 per aircraft. Pilots should consult the aerodrome’s latest PPR briefing and operating information before flight.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SmartPPR is a great idea! This sort of innovation is much needed in our industry, and the way they do it just simplifies the process for all. I hope more airfields adopt this so that it can become the standard way to do PPR.
