More about this scene

Originally built as a Second World War base for heavy bombers flying to Europe, the airport has gradually developed into a busy centre for UK domestic routes, holiday flights and scheduled flights into some major European cities and further afield. It has one of the longest runways in the country, and has been known as Teesside International Airport for some years.
