EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Patricia Payne captures the essence of Stow Maries Airfield in all its glory. The image transports us back to a time when aviation was still in its infancy, and this historic airfield played a crucial role during World War I. As we gaze upon the photograph, our eyes are immediately drawn to the scale replica SE5A biplane standing proudly in the foreground. Its intricate details and vibrant colors make it seem almost lifelike, as if ready to take flight at any moment. It serves as a poignant reminder of the brave pilots who once soared through these skies. In the background, we see the Pilots Ready Room, exuding an aura of nostalgia and history. This humble building witnessed countless briefings, camaraderie among aviators, and moments of anticipation before taking off into battle or on training missions. The view from the airfield offers a glimpse into Essex's picturesque landscape surrounding Stow Maries Airfield. Rolling green fields stretch out towards the horizon while fluffy clouds dotting an azure sky create a serene backdrop for this historical site. Patricia Payne's skillful composition not only showcases her artistic talent but also pays homage to those who served at Stow Maries Airfield during one of humanity's most turbulent periods. Through this photograph, we can appreciate both their courage and dedication that helped shape aviation history forevermore.
