Not Stow Maries.
I have just had a closer look at where this aerodrome was located.
It is now listed in Greater London. I hope I have not mislead you but you are on the right track !

Right chaps,
You are all in the right area.
Clue : A very old veteran who died recently started his Military career here.
That should do it !!
Clive... sorry Clint.

Henry Allingham started his military life at Chingford as an Air Mechanic 2nd Class.
So maybe RNAS Chingford.
OPEN HOUSE if correct as an early walk to the pub seems to be in order. Crackling fire, foaming ale...... ahhh

handsfree.
Correct.
RNAS Chingford. 1915.
Although the aerodrome was closed in 1919 it continued to be used for National Aviation Days until about 1932.
In 1935 it was demolished to make way for the William Girling Reservoir which is still in use today.
Henry Allingham, (6-6-1896 -- 18-7-09) did start his Naval career here.
handsfree has declared open house.
