About Us
Stoke Medway airfield was created by the well known Microlight Manufacturer Chris Draper and his father Joey around 40 years ago. Medway Microlights holds the title of being the UK's oldest Microlight Manufacturer. The company has now been sold to TLAC (The Light Aircraft Company) who is now continuing to manufacturer the SLA range of aircraft.
​
The Airfield has now been taken over by Medway Airsports Ltd under the Guidance of Dean Pappin a 36 Year old local aviator with a passion for anything technical or aviation related. The main aim in the coming years is to restore the premises to its former glory and seat the airfield as a pillar of its surrounding community.
​
Never stop being a kid. Never stop feeling and seeing and being excited with great things like air and engines and sounds of sunlight within you. Wear your little mask if you must to protect you from the world but if you let that kid disappear you are grown up and you are dead.
Richard Bach, 'Nothing by Chance,' 1963.
