on May 24th, in scorching temperatures, @stowmariesgwa.bsky.social hosted its annual #Wingsandwheels event. What a show! #ww1 #aviation #vintage #biplane

Graham was a top chap who always had time for a chat. He'd had his fair share of tragedies, too - but he kept smiling. Rest Easy, Graham, everyone at @stowmariesgwa.bsky.social will miss you.

Final set of images from our WW1 Living History - including Nicholas Wells, Bill Kent and Ellen Joy from The Lufberys and Leon Seccombe. Thanks to photographer Martin Johnson. Don't forget, we have more living history ahead in June and July www.stowmaries.org.uk/event

I love my job. #livinghistory #ww1 @stowmariesgwa.bsky.social #RoyalNavy #RND

A lovely view of our 1917 Officer's Accommodation blocks at @stowmariesgwa.bsky.social . 2* Listed, Graded A on the Historic England At-Risk Register (historicengland.org.uk/listing/heri...). B33 still has it's internal walls - the only one left in the world. You can see the Women's Hostelry, too.

Great fun this weekend at the International #LivingHistory Festival in Waltham Abbey, UK. Representing 1916 RND. Seamanship practice! #ww1 #Reenactment

A blustery day at @stowmariesgwa.bsky.social . Ingrid the Bergmann is all sheltered in the 1917 MT Sheds though. Happy days. #ww1 #museum #heritage

@stowmariesgwa.bsky.social . Just look at that skyline, unchanged since #ww1. Wow.

Who is attending this (UK)? livinghistoryfestival.wordpress.com #WW1 #Reenactment #LivingHistory #Heritage #Museum

Planning and excitement is starting to build for livinghistoryfestival.wordpress.com . We will be depicting a detachment of RND ( Drake Batt.) returning to the Front after wounds in April '16. Seamanship, close combat, Machine Gun crewing - lots of training happening! #WW1 #RoyalNavy #LivingHistory

Always nice to read good things about the #museum! #WW1 www.essexlive.news/whats-on/fam...

Very glad to be attending this event, at such an iconic #ww1 venue. Representing 1916 #RoyalNavalDivision #RoyalNavy #GreatWar #LivingHistory. www.royalgunpowdermills.com/Event/intern...

We got a chance to get some overhead shots of @stowmariesgwa.bsky.social this week. These buildings were meant to last 5 years...and that was 109 years ago. They are just part of the largest collection of RFC buildings in the world that we host. If you want to know what each one is - ask! #WW1

What an amazing #exhibition. www.theapex.co.uk/gallery/bury... #Photography #Suffolk

Looking like a great line up of speakers. As well as a unique venue!. @stowmariesgwa.bsky.social #ww1 www.stowmaries.org.uk/event/stow-m...

@stowmariesgwa.bsky.social bringing the vibes. #ww1 #Essex #England #Spring

29 February 1916 2nd Lt Cecil Herbert Stileman of 5 sqdn Royal Flying Corps was killed in a flying accident and was buried in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery. Cecil is also remembered at @pembroke1347.bsky.social #WW1 #History #HistoryMatters

Hi guys - we're back! Sorry for the holiday!

I can't lie - I'm pretty excited about this year's Frontline Seminar at www.stowmaries.org.uk. Details here: www.stowmaries.org.uk/event/stow-m...

Thanks! It was really great to be able to cook in the cottage then sleep there at night, (downstairs). So toasty! The men responded well to the food, too. its great to show that #WW1 at a UK training site was filling & tasty. Not a tin of Bully Beef in sight - Soups, Cottage Pie, Sausages, Cake...

Just back after an immersive #WW1 weekend at @chilternoam.bsky.social . Top fun representing a Gallery Killick of the RND on loan to the 10th Essex Regiment, training to return to France. Lots of period food, a few beers and GALLONS of Tea!

All settled in for the night at @chilternoam.bsky.social , just need to grab the fire guard. A weekend of #WW1 #Livinghistory awaits! An immersive weekend in 1916 as a Leading Seaman of the #RoyalNavy ( RND, just before the Army took over) in the Galley!

StowMaries.org.uk getting some sun. Just in time for the volunteer recruitment session! #ww1 #volunteer #museum

Any #WW1 #Aviation nerds out there? Check this out.. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Lots of planning going on for our #Air events at www.stowmaries.org.uk. We're hoping we might see a return visit of one very popular item! @almurray.bsky.social - recognise this beauty?! #WW2 @royalnavy.bsky.social

I just listened to the latest episode of @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social 's Take. @kermodemovie.bsky.social and @simonmayo.bsky.social 's comments on the Orange Wotsit's Handmaiden and her movie made me cheer. I will not name it - nor pay to see it, for the same reasons. Tinkety Tonk.

On April 18 and 19 April, I get to indulge my passion for #LivingHistory. Myself and 9 chums will be presenting our interpretation of a section of junior ratings (Killick in charge) en route to rejoining the Royal Naval Division in April 1916. #ww1 #RoyalNavy livinghistoryfestival.wordpress.com

Thanks, @iancastleraids.bsky.social . We're glad to have your support, as always!

I am very happy to be taking part in the www.essexcommunityfoundation.org.uk CommuniTea event on Friday 6th February. We'll be exploring volunteering for a #charity like www.stowmaries.org.uk . Why is it so important? #ww1 #museum #charity #volunteering www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/communitea...

As an independent #museum, www.stowmaries.org.uk relies heavily on events income. They take a lot of planning (www.stowmaries.org.uk/events) and need to bring in wide audiences. Today - I've been focusing on one of our Air events, a #LivingHistory event and a motorbike show. #WW1 #History #Events

As I recover from a very nasty chest infection, I have taken the opportunity to replace the buttons on my 1902SD with #RoyalNavy ones. This is for my 1916 LS presentation. #WW1 #RND

A fascinating image (for me, anyway!). The Royal Naval Division, well known for its uniform shenanigans, does it again. It looks like a SB party. I think it must be post-May 1916 (63rd Div patches on) - they don't have Battalion Brass yet. Curved and Straight RND titles, no colour flash. #WW1

Over a #Coffee my mind wanders to #WW1 #LivingHistory. Some new shoulder brass has arrived, but I'm struggling to find 16mm brass KC RN buttons for a 1916 Royal Naval Division impression I am delivering in April. ( I need 6 for my SD pockets and epaulettes). Any ideas? #reenactment #RoyalNavy #RND

Another regular day. Finalising the Marketing Strategy for Www.stowmaries.org.uk , using theaudienceagency.org/en/what-we-d... ..while penning another #Funding application for an exhibition... writing an impact report for a previous grant..while balancing #Events planning. Waiter? Bring me #Coffee!

#LivingHistory is a great way to relax. I have also enjoyed #Reenactment. While I have had plenty of time working in the 15th C, I find myself enjoying #WW1. Particularly the #RoyalNavy. 1916, Royal Naval Division,Galley Killick in April. Time to plan menus. The Galley will provide!

As I'm new to the platform, what sort of presence does #WW1 #LivingHistory or its cousin, #Reenactment have on BlueSky? Any #GreatWar #Museums on here?

Great to see my chum Frankie on here at 47:30 onwards, being very excitable and geeky. Top work and all less than an hour from me. #archaeology #diggingforbritain #history Digging for Britain, Series 13: 2. Our Rarest Find and Biggest Dig: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002pl59 via @bbciplayer

Great War Living History beckons. Drake Battalion, Royal Naval Division, 1916. Coming to a venue near you...if I can find the time. #WW1 #RoyalNavy #LivingHistory

What a busy week. Stow Marie's Great War Aerodrome (www.stowmaries.org.uk) in all its glory... Now. Time to plan for it's season, and mine.
