Hull Angels raced here 1948 and part of 1949 seasons but lost money. An attempt to find a more central location by use of the old Hull City football ground at Anlaby Road failed and the track licence and some of the riders transferred to the newly built track at Blunsdon, Swindon, the season being completed by the Swindon Robins who have raced every season since. |

Flying at Hull (Hedon) Aerodrome goes back to before World War I. In 1916 the site was used as a night landing ground by 33 Squadron RFC, but there was little flying activity. In 1929 The Hull Flying Club was established and Hull Municipal Airport was opened by Prince George on 10 October 1929. KLM operated a service to Amsterdam from May 1934. Civil flying ceased on the outbreak of World War II, but the aerodrome was rejected by the RAF mainly because it was so close to the oil tanks at Salt End. Post-war there was little interest in flying at Hedon and a speedway track was opened with the hangar being converted to a grandstand. The venture failed. A last attempt to bring aviation back to Hedon ended disastrously when the aircraft was damaged on landing from a demonstration flight. |
