A little about us & our past
Hamilton Farm Airstrip
During WW2 an airfield was constructed next to Hamilton farm. The USAAF Ninth air force required several temporary advanced landing ground (ALG) along the channel coast prior to June 1994 Normandy invasion to provide tactical air support for the ground forces landing in France. Kingsnorth was selected in July 1942 and given the final go ahead for construction in December with a completion date of March 1st 1943.
Hamilton farm is a non profit making venture which caters for microlights & light aircraft owners. Being only 4 miles S.E. of Ashford Kent most of the owners are local. Other activities at the farm include clay pigeon shooting to help towards local charities. The airstrip is not open to visiting aircraft. It is a working sheep raze during the winter months. Hay is grown during the summer & distributed to the equestrian paternity. We have a positive wildlife policy with three well stocked pond, which encourage all types of wild life ranging from adder snakes to newts 7 frogs. to increase this one acre has been set aside which is only grazed in winter to encourage butterflies & a array of wild flowers.
