SyriaKremlinMoskvaRussiaUnited-kingdomKievUkraine-generalUkraineRomaniaRussianUkrainian TEESSIDE International Airport is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, as it looks to make 2021 a transformative year full of opportunity despite the coronavirus pandemic. The airport was born in January 1941, when the airfield for the World War Two bomber base, then named RAF Middleton St George, was opened. In April of that year, it would go on to welcome its first Whitley bombers of the RAF’s 78 Squadron. During the war, it was allocated as a base for the Royal Canadian Air Force, who remained there until 1945, flying Vickers Wellingtons, Halifaxes and Avro Lancasters. It was during this time that Canadian Andrew Mynarski, one of the airmen stationed at the base, was awarded the Victoria Cross. His bravery in trying to rescue his trapped Lancaster bomber crewmate as their plane went down over France in 1944 has never been forgotten and a statue in his honour still stands proudly on the airport’s grounds.
