King Air Landing Gear Inspections
Dedicated facility offering excellent turnaround times with full service support.
Welcome to Brinkley Aerospace
As one of Europe’s leading Propeller Repair and Overhaul facilities we pride ourselves on offering exceptional levels of customer service. Based in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, our recently built, modern 14,250 sq foot facility has been purposely designed to enable us to work efficiently and deliver turnaround schedules that are consistently on-time and in-budget.
Choosing Brinkley Aerospace for your propeller overhaul will ensure that you get the highest quality workmanship for the best price whilst never compromising on safety and quality.
Over the last 10 years we have expanded both our premises and our capabilities and now offer, in addition to our propeller services, an approved Non-Destructive Testing division that supports Aviation, Motorsport, Marine and Space and Satellite companies.
We understand that cost and downtimes are key issues for our customers, whether they are King Air operators minimising revenue loss, Aerobatic teams needing quick turnarounds or Cessna 172 pilots trying to make the most of the British summer we work to ensure that requirements are met and hopefully exceeded.
We are always happy to provide quotes for overhaul by email or telephone. When a propeller arrives at our facility it is inspected by one of our qualified engineers. If, at that stage, any further work is identified as being necessary we contact the customer to discuss ensuring that they are kept informed throughout the process.

About Us
Brinkley Aerospace was born out of a demerger of Brinkley Aircraft Services which previously encompassed aircraft maintenance and propeller repair and overhauls.
The incorporation of Brinkley Aerospace as a separate entity in 2007 signalled the start of a new era and period of rapid growth for both our component and NDT services. Since then we have moved location twice and currently operate within a 14,250 sq foot state-of-the-art facility and employ 24 dedicated staff.
We pride ourselves on high quality work with fast turnaround times at competitive prices.

MT-propeller five blade ready for final assembly.
Over the next two days, with some great technical engineering skills this should be ready for release to service and back in the air.

One of the oldies still going strong!
Early design (1970’s) Threaded McCauley Propeller for the Cessna 400 series in final assembly.
We still have the capability and many component parts for these ‘interesting’ propellers.

Spot how many cracks you can find in the wing fitting??
Luckily this steel wing fitting came in for inspection due to a suspect crack and the NDT department confirmed the suspicion and found a few others just for good measure. 😳

Well this is a bit different!
Not one of our normal visitors for the Warbird team this week and certainly the largest Fixed Pitch propeller we have had the pleasure to work on.
