Dej 17 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) I could have sworn someone had posted about this but I couldn't find it... Stow Maries Aerodrome was a WW1 Home Defence aerodrome in 1918, the home of No. 37 Squadron. It's one of the few in the UK to have any original buildings still standing and the only one to have MOST OF THEM! The guys who are restoring it to it's WW1 condition now have a website up with news, photos, video and more... Click Here Edited June 16, 2009 by Dej Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted June 16, 2009 What a find! Question, though: why no white in the rondels? I've seen blue and red, with a thin gold outside rim on Spitfires, but never where the khaki shows through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll bet it'll be the pride of the WWI airshows if they can pull it off. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen blue and red, with a thin gold outside rim on Spitfires, but never where the khaki shows through. I'm guessing, but maybe white would show up too much at night, giving your enemy a target - literally, given they're roundels - to aim at.

Dej 17 Posted June 24, 2009 Awesome! Cheers Shredward, watched it a dozen times back-to-back. At least I now know my landings are authentic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Oh, what a great sound that Camel had! Great video - thanks. Shredward! Now I hope, Mayrhofer will get his Albatros DIII to fly, too. But I heard the test running engine - it doesn't sound half as impressive as the Camel's. Edited June 24, 2009 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
