Current Projects.

These aircraft are currently in our workshop.

MAPSL now owns this aircraft, gifted by the previous owner.

We also have two Trolley Accumulators in the workshop which are being restored for different clients. These units were designed to provide electrical power to ground-start Rolls-Royce Merlin engines - click to view.

News from the workshop

The Floatplane has now been returned from display at Rochester Cathedral

NEW: Two R-R Merlin engines from a Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Bomber have just arrived in the MAPSL Workshop - click to view.

We restore and preserve historic aircraft

and artefacts for public display.

We are volunteers from the Medway Branch of The Royal Aeronautical Society. We are based in workshops at Rochester Airport, Chatham, Kent, UK.

The shop and visitors' centre are in our new workshop.

The workshop is OPEN to visitors on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday:- 9.30am to 12.30pm

Donations are very welcome -
they help us carry out our restoration work.

Please note: - We only have our current projects in our workshops and these are generally in a disassembled form so that restoration work can proceed. The work we do is undertaken for our customers who then may fly, display or preserve the aircraft in private collections and museums where they can still be viewed.
