Hackness
Note: This map only shows the position of Hackness village within the UK.
HACKNESS: Military airstrip (also known as SILPHO?)
Location: Roughly 2nm WNW of Scalby
NOTES: Apparently used by AOP Austers…during WW2? Could SILPHO have been another strip? It seems a bit unlikely as Silpho village is just over a mile N of Hackness village.
As you might imagine in researching this 'Guide' for over twenty years, quite often all I have come across is a scant mention. As often as not, as in this case, I have no idea if the information is correct or not. But, the fact that I have found a published record clearly deserves a listing.
All attempts to try and find out more have failed miserably. If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
