Abstract: Hidden symmetries of the Goryachev-Chaplygin and Kovalevskaya gyrostats spacetimes, as well as the Brdiv{c}ka-Eardley-Nappi-Witten pp-waves are studied. We find out that these spacetimes possess higher rank St"ackel-Killing tensors and that in the case of the pp-wave spacetimes the symmetry group of the St"ackel-Killing tensors is the well-known Newton-Hooke group.
