This February half term, visitors to Stonehenge might be a little suprised by the addition of a replica WW1 biplane which will be on show in the outdoor exhibition at the visitor centre.

As well as experiencing one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe, you'll also be able to discover stories of Stonehenge and the Wiltshire landscape during the First World War with performances from our historical pilots. Kids can even take a seat inside the Se5A fighter plane and imagine taking to the skies above the stones 100 years ago.

A military aerodrome was built near Stonehenge in 1917 and the Royal Flying Corps housed their aircraft close to the Stone Circle. They practiced their flying skills around the monument, as the flatlands of Wiltshire provided early pilots with a perfect landscape above which they could learn the art of aerial navigation.

The aerodrome was home to a range of aircraft. While few traces survive today, performers will bring this aviation history to life at Stonehenge this february half term.

Performances will take place near the Neolithic Houses outside the Stonehenge visitor centre at 11am, 1pm and 3pm.
