Civil Airport Greatham Advert 1956

What we know about this image :

Greatham Airport was looking forward to a good summer, having been 'fallow' for a year, when this advert appeared on February 16th 1956. BKS were offering holiday flights and there was great optimism that Greatham would serve the north east along with Newcastle in business and holiday travel.

The airport became a civil airport in April 1938. Sadly, despite the plans and adverts,all did not go to plan and the airport closed in 1957 and on the site South Durham Steel and Iron built West Hartlepool South Works.
