About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

This fascinating museum is home to some amazing WW1 planes and was once a base for the Royal Flying Corps and Defence Squadron. Today you can wander around the museum and stop at the memorial and pay tribute to those that died in the line of duty. There is plenty of wildlife to see as the aerodrome lay dormant for 100 years after WW1 so look out for owls and many other listed birds. There are plenty of events and educational activities held throughout the year so check out the website for all information.

Directions

Directions from the M25 At Junction 28 of the M25, turn North on the A12. At Junction 18 (Chelmsford Park and Ride) of the A12, turn East on the A414 towards Danbury and continue through Danbury towards Maldon. At the roundabout take the 2nd exit, straight across, onto the B1010 Burnham Road. Take the first right, Marlpits Road, towards Cock Clarks and Cold Norton. At the crossroads, go straight on. This is now Hackmans Lane. Follow Hackmans Lane through the village of Cock Clarks towards Cold Norton. Approximately 1.5 miles from Cock Clarks, there is a large sign on the right hand side advertising Stow Maries RFC Aerodrome at the entrance to Flambirds Farm. Turn right down the concrete track through the farm to the Aerodrome (0.75 miles). Park in the designated grassy cordoned off area to the left before you reach the main buildings. Visitors should report to the Museum, on the left hand side, almost opposite the large green field, which is the parade ground.
