Did this on a Fokker, returning for the first time in 27 years from Australia. Looped right round the Riverside stadium, camera stashed away in the overhead locker. Aaargh.

I used to live on the Beckfields part of Ingleby Barwick many years ago and used to regularly see jets flying low over into Teesside Airport during the summer. Now, living in Canning Town, get a lot of planes heading into London City Airport. Such a contrast

RAF Middleton St George. Sad it's no longer a RAF airfield but at least it's still an active airfield and not a housing estate or industrial estate.
@davesturdy3 жыл бұрын
it's been a public airport a long long time now and is currently being refurbished and is expected to become much more successful in the coming years. What was your connection with the airport Sarge084?

@@davesturdy I know, I loaded a C130 troop movement there, we stayed in the hotel which was once the Officers Mess. Most civil airfields in the UK were RAF airfields at one time. Heathrow Gatwick Stansted Luton Southend Birmingham Bristol Cardiff Exeter Southampton Newquay Staverton Bournemouth Manchester Liverpool and many more.

There are now a LOT more flights from Teesside since the Aiport was taken back from Peel who ran the airport into the ground. It’s worth having a look at their new destinations and the airport has been refurbished too 😍

what does the MME stand for
@davesturdy2 жыл бұрын
Great question. I have often wondered. All I know is that it is to do with the airport being an RAF base during / after world war 2 and I think the first M is for Middleton St. George (which is the small 'village' close to the airport.). The other M and the E , I have no idea if they actually stand for anything. Possibly just a couple of random letters. If anyone reading this can add more info, please do :)

@@davesturdy Although it started as RAF Middleton St George, it was more commonly known as RAF Goosepool (pass as to why?). As for the tag, I believe they wanted TIA or TEE, but they are both already in use. The next attempt was for Middlesbrough Municipal Airport, but MMA is also used, so MME was the closest they could manage.

NEIGHBOURS AND LOCAL HISTORY IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND - NORTON GREEN, BILLINGHAM, DARLINGTON, MIDDLESBROUGH, NEWCASTLE, STOCKTON, YORK & YARM Most people living in the North of England think they know their neighbours and local history but how would you know your neighbour worked for MI6? Most who knew the Fairclough family didn’t have a clue that from the seventies Bill Fairclough was a secret agent (MI6 codename JJ) working for various intelligence agencies. What’s more they had no idea he was following in his parents’ footsteps. Bill's parents met during the Second World War when his father, ostensibly working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), worked secretly on creating bombs to wipe out the Nazi's industrial hinterland. They married in Yarm in 1941. After the war in Europe ended in May 1945, Dr Richard Alan Fairclough continued to work for British Intelligence (MI1). Not long after retiring from ICI in the seventies, Richard Fairclough opened and ran an antiquarian book shop business in Yarm until his death in 1987. The book shop was a bit of an enigma as it was also a haunt for spooks. When not gated at St Peter’s School, York Bill Fairclough spent most of his childhood and early teens in the North East of England. As a child in the fifties he was educated at Red House School in Norton. He lived in Billingham and then in a vast white house (once the home of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley) in Norton Green overlooking the duck pond. In Bill’s teens, the Faircloughs lived in Middleton St George and later in Yarm. He also lived in flats he rented near nightclubs he helped run during the late sixties and early seventies in Portrack, Stockton-on-Tees and Jesmond in Newcastle upon Tyne. Conveniently for him they were near the offices of the firm of Chartered Accountants he worked for in Middlesbrough and Newcastle upon Tyne. So if you lived, worked or visited any of these places you may well have unwittingly encountered this “spooky” family, been their neighbours or inhabited the houses they lived in. A quick web-search will even disclose some of the addresses where they lived. Mind you, if you live in any of them now, best sweep them for bugs! Details of where the Faircloughs lived and worked are given in most of Bill Fairclough’s bios on the web such as can be found at everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/bill-fairclough. If you were as fascinated as we were, you can also read the raw fact based thriller Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone novel to be released in The Burlington Files series (theburlingtonfiles.org/#/reviews). It’s a memorable and distinctively different noir espionage thriller based on his and his family’s experiences in 1974.

This is interesting, but why have you posted this on an aviation video? It’s not spam as such, but I’m slightly perturbed that you didn’t ask permission to post this comment.
