Olham 164 Posted June 28, 2013 Just stumbled across this offer: "Stow Maries", a British WW1 training aerodrome for sale.Anyone with 2 Million Pounds at hand?I collected some photos from various forums - perhaps one of our history buffs can contribute some information on this old aerodrome?

rjw 48 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Now that, Olham, is an interesting find. Tnx for the post, I'm going to have to do some research on it as I'm not familiar with it. UPDATE: Just found this link about Stow Marie - http://www.stowmaries.com/ Edited June 28, 2013 by rjw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjw 48 Posted June 28, 2013 Olham; Now that we are on the subject of aerodromes, I have yet to find any windsocks on the aerodromes of OFF. Would be useful in determining wind direction when landing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Looks like it has found a new owner then? Thanks for the link, Robert! You don't see windsocks??? On my German fields I'm sure we have them. Edited June 28, 2013 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maeran 20 Posted June 28, 2013 Windsocks are there. Usually 2/3 of the way down the line of the field. I don't believe they move with the wind though. You can get the wind direction from the brief and when there is smoke from chimneys, I would like to believe they show the wind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MudWasp48 3 Posted June 28, 2013 In my dreams....guess it would make sense to have a real plane first. I see windsocks on both sides of the trenches and across the the channel. They are not easily seen at distance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little devils were too hard for me to find until I got down really low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted June 29, 2013 Windsocks can normally easily be found by taxiing into them. Guaranteed to kill your pilot if you're playing DiD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
