There are two interesting events coming up at Preston Park near Stockton which are relevant to Durham Tees Valley’s history.
Goosepool: The History of RAF and RCAF Middleton St George
Tue 29 May 2018 11:00 – 12:00
Stanley D. Howes will talk about the fascinating history of the military airfield that
is now Durham Tees Valley Airport.
Copies of his book ‘Goosepool: The History of RAF and RCAF Middleton St. George and Teesside Airport’ will be available for sale and signing by the author.
Spaces are limited, so reserve your ticket in person at the Museum’s Welcome Desk, or by calling 01642 527375.
RAF 100: Through Adversity to the Stars
Mon 28 May 2018 – Wed 30 May 2018 10:00 – 16:00
Over three days, we will celebrate RAF 100, the centenary of the formation of the Royal Air Force, with an exhibition in our Billiard Room.
Curated by the museum’s volunteers, it will contain fascinating personal items and memorabilia and will tell the stories of local people and their involvement in the RAF. As well as the displays, there will be opportunities to meet and talk with former service personnel and discover their experiences.
FoDTVA are hoping to have a presence at this event with our stall, giving out information about the airport and showing films about the airport and Lancaster visit.
