Frontline: Faces and Spaces - a one-day history event at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome

Join us to explore key aspects of the Great War in our popular annual seminar. This year's theme - Key faces, spaces and their impact.

Frontline is a one-day focused history seminar, on an original Great War site, in an original Great War building. It's an annual, must-go event for the Great War history enthusiast. You will join a restricted number of your peers as you explore a specific area of this wide ranging and complicated field.

The day includes up-close and personal tours of aircraft and object handling sessions, as well as lunch in the original 1917 mess, now The Airmen's Mess café.

With talks in previous seminars ranging from the tribulations of recreating a Great War aircraft (from drawing board to flight) to the challenges of excavating a totally buried Royal Flying Corps Camp, you can guarantee an interesting and exciting day.

For 2026, year, the theme is 'Faces and Spaces'. We are presently accepting applications for speakers. Presentations should be illustrated and highlight key, possibly even pivotal, people or locations in the Great War. These could be related to aviation, but equally could be of a more general nature. There need not be a direct link to RFC / RAF Stow Maries, Home Defence, or Essex.

Presentations should be 35-45 minutes long, and speakers will be invited to conduct book or media signings and sit on our popular Q&A Panel in the latter part of the day. Apply to aW5mbyB8IHN0b3dtYXJpZXMgISBvcmcgISB1aw== now!
