Teesside Airport Movements

Historic Photos - Accidents & Incidents

We have been given on loan a huge number of photos taken at Teesside from the 60s to 00s all taken airside of some very special aircraft to visit. This is the Mishap album, we have tried to add as much info on each aircraft as we can and in no way is it complete - please feel free to help with any additional info or dates etc - DA.

Special thanks to Trevor Jones ex airport official photographer for 30 years who took most of the images, Brian Hunter for a lot of info and Steve Curtis for sending a lot of the images.

Aircraft are in date order where known, then registration/serial order thereafter and finally complete unknowns at the bottom.
