Vintage aircraft will take to the skies in Stow Maries this weekend for one of the aerodrome's biggest events of the year.

Sunday, May 25 will see crowds head to Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome for the annual Wings & Wheels event.

Planned air activities include demonstrations from a range of World War One and World War Two aircraft (weather permitting). Being Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome, the classic warbirds will also be displaying.

Meanwhile, up to 200 classic, vintage and unusual vehicles will provide plenty of entertainment on the ground.

Ian Flint, Chief Executive Officer of Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome, said: "Wings & Wheels is one of the highlights of the region's social calendar, and for good reason.

"We have classic aircraft flying just above the field, whirling dogfights in the sky and nail-biting close formations, along with a fantastic selection of classic cars on the ground.

"Add in the rare chance to go airside and see these amazing machines up close, and enjoy some excellent food and drink, and you have the perfect family day out."

Visitors can enjoy bacon rolls, burgers and hotdogs from the barbecue, washed down with a cold aviation-themed beer from local favourite and long-term collaborator Datum Attitude brewery.

The Airmen's Mess café will be on hand too, supplying even more hot and cold meals, snacks and cakes throughout the day.

Aviation enthusiasts will relish the chance to get within touching distance of some of the amazing aircraft in the show with Flight Line Walks.

Led by the Aerodrome's resident experts, they will get you up-close-and-personal with some of the rarest aircraft in Britain, sharing their history and marvelling at their engineering.

Aircraft hoping to be on show (weather/operational issues allowing) include resident World War One fighter the Albatross DVa, a stunning Nieuport 17, a trio of golden age light "Hoppers" led by the rare Ercol Ercoupe, a Russian Yak-52 and the gut-wrenching antics of the Turbulent Team.
