Historic Military Movements
Compiled by Ian McMaster
Major Update 3 March 2015 - Over the last year or so Dave Anderson, Gary Becks and I have collected a huge amount of data relating to the mission movements for World War 2 from RAF Middleton St George, this has included a trip the National Archives in London as well as many many hours collating it into an easy to view format like our other pages. We have completed 1941-1943 and currently well on the way to finishing 1944 & 1945 (the Canadian years). You will see we have included aircraft serial, type, times out/in, where the mission was to and a lot of detail on incident and sadly losses during the missions. We do hope that you will enjoy reading the pages which give an eye opening account of what happened from our airfield during WW2. Click on 1941 to start. Once we have completed the last two years the project will continue to add more detail as and when we can, with hopefully further movements from some of the other units based here during the war. Please do let us know if you enjoyed the new pages.
This section provides a further expansion of the website’s historical movements and is intended to summarise the military aircraft that have visited RAF Middleton-St-George / Teesside Airport & Durham Tees Valley Airport. (1941 – Current).
Similar to other sections on our website, it will be expanded over a period of time and its quality will be enhanced the more we receive contributions from enthusiasts within the area and ex locals who now live away from the area.
If you can supply any corrections or additional information for military visitors during the above period in particularly for the period 1941 – 1964 covering either based RAF aircraft or visiting aircraft we would be most grateful to here from you.
In the coming months we expect to complete 1944 & 1945.
So here’s the challenge...sift through those old notebooks in your attic and send in any contributions you have.
