What are your memories of flying from Doncaster Sheffield Airport?
Doncaster Sheffield Airport has a long and rich history. It was first opened as Finningley Airfield in 1915 and served as a base for the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. The airfield was also used during World War II, primarily for training purposes. In the Cold War, Finningley was a key facility for nuclear-armed Vulcan bombers. The airfield was decommissioned in 1995, but reopened to passengers in 2005 as Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield. The airport has since served as a major hub for low-cost airlines and has helped to boost the local economy.
The Airport has recently been closed by owners Peel, with a campaign launched to being it into public ownership.

This striking set of images shows the progress with the Castlegate Shopping Centre demolition in Stockton-on-Tees as part of the Stockton Waterfront development.
The Swallow Hotel, Multi-storey car park and half the shopping mall has now gone, with work having disconnected the Millennium Bridge which will be linked into the new waterfront park.
Remaining is the Spencer Market Hall, Northern Mall, and the iconic Curley Whirly rooftop ramp. These will be raised to the ground over the coming months.
Works by MGL Group on behalf of Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.
