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 the June 1944
Normandy invasion to provide tactical air support for the ground forces landing in France.
Kingsnorth airfield was selected in July 1942 and given the final go-ahead for construction in
December with a completion date of 1 March 1943.
Hamilton Farm is a non profit making venture which cater’s for microlights and light aircraft owners
as a hobby. Being only 4 miles S.E of Ashford most of the owners are local.
Other activities at the farm include clay pigeon shooting to help
towards local charity.

Hay is grown during the summer and distributed local mainly to the equestrian paternity.
We have a positive wildlife policy with three well stocked ponds, which encourages
