Hawkinge

Hawkinge is a rapidly expanding village in southeast Kent. During World War II it was the closest operational airfield to France and was used during the Battle of Britain. The airfield is now the site of a housing estate the building of which was hampered by the discovery of several pipe bombs which had been put there in the event of a German invasion to render the airfield useless to enemy airplanes. The local M.P. is the Rt. Hon. Michael Howard Q.C. (Conservative) who has "a little of the night about him". There are three Shepway District Councillors for the Hawkinge area: David Callahan, Peter Smith, and Christina Smith.
