Hackmans Gate
HACKMANS GATE: Private airstrip (Aka KNOLL FARM)
Note: The first three pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Operated by: Mr J Palethorpe
Location: Just N of the B4188 and W of the A450, just NW of Hackmans Gate village. About 3.5nm S to SSW of Stourbridge town centre and roughly 4nm ENE of Kidderminster town centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Probably from 1995 to -
Runway: 03/21 400 grass
NOTES: It appears that Mr Palethorpe had the Socata, (Morane Saulnier), MS.893A Rally Commodore G-AZUT (ex VH-TCH), based here from March 1995 until October 2014 when it then became PWFU, (Permanently Withdrawn From Use). However, the 2021 picture above certainly seems to show that the airstrip is still in use?
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be most welcome. Pictures are of course much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
