Newcastle Airport is a major success story with a growing number of scheduled and holiday charter flights to domestic and worldwide destinations Newcastle Airport started life on the 26th July 1935, it had a grass runway, a club house, a hangar, workshops, an ambulance room, a hose for petrol and a garage. It cost just £35,000. The first scheduled service calling here flew between Croydon and Perth, Scotland, operated by North Eastern Airways using Rapide and 8-seater Airspeed Envoy aircraft.
It had its first appointed Airport manager in 1952, Jim Denyer’s number-one aim was to put Newcastle on the map. By mid-1954 scheduled services totaled some 35 per week, but it was the 1960’s when people were heading off by air on sunshine holidays that brought the boom in passenger numbers. As well as meeting their needs, the Airport was now carving out a major role in encouraging business and development in the North East of England.
Get your timings right and you can see some amazing low flying Aircraft from the cache location, either coming in to land or taking off.
