About us

A little about our history and facilities


In 2006, three of the current shareholders (James Wardle, Patrick Hill & Stephen Onions), the early pioneers, set about to find a suitable new home for general aviation in East London because the local airport offered little expansion possibility and had a shortage of hangers and the airports company was unwilling to entertain any form of expansion for general aviation. After a signicant search for a suitable site, the sale of the land (3 farms) was successfully negotiated with the sellers and the pioneering team set about to establish and develop a facility that could include the larger local aviation community - this involved establishing a vision statement and strategy for Wings Park along with comprehensive manuals to facilitate the development to grow in order for it to accommodate the anticipated shareholders once all shares were sold. The plan was presented to all interrested parties as well as advertised on select aviation forums and the outcome saw an initial group of shareholder's who bought shares in the Company and the development work began. Over the next few years, all the remaining shares were sold to enthusuastic buyers and all revenue generated form the sale of shares was invested back into the Companies property and infrastructure. Over time, Wings Park has been evolved and developed into a stunning and comprehensive facility through the hard work of the annually appointed board and many dedicated shareholders who have generously given of their time, expertise and resources to improve Wings Park so that today it boasts a full wedding and conferecne venue, wedding chapel, Shareholder's Clubhouse, Aviator's Lounge, Fuel Station, Game Reserve and many other pertinent facillities. Most important is that Wings Park has become a vibrant social and lifestyle community that is foundationally aviation oriented, but offers so much more...

Wings Park vision


Wings Park is the resulting development after an extensive search by several individuals to find a suitable airfield that could accommodate the present and future needs of general aviation in the East London region. The vision is for an air park that will allow individuals to erect their hanger on an exclusive use piece of ground with sufficient common runway and security facilities to accommodate the majority of general aviation aircraft requirements in this region.

The vision also allows for significant growth of facilities forming part of this estate, but the idea is to keep the operating cost to the shareholders and pilots as low as practically possible and using supplemental income from renting out the farm house and grazing land to subsidize the estate maintenance costs. It was envisioned that separate tracks of land could further be leased out to entrepreneurial parties to conduct entertainment services for the greater community like quad bike riding, paintball games, flea market, tea garden and many other such activities, the location venue being conducive for such.

The primary focus for Wings Park is that of an airfield and aviation activities are to be encouraged from not only the shareholders, but also invited commercial operators, aviation clubs and the general public. “Noise has the right of way” at Wings Park. It is therefore fair to interpret the venue as a family oriented venue that caters not only for general aviation, but also the outdoor needs of our shareholder’s families. With safety of prime concern, current and future developments will focus on enhancing the shareholder’s pleasure and enjoyment of this magnificent facility. It is important that we have preservation of the initial vision, for that is what the bulk of early shareholders bought into and that is their expectation.
