RAF Middleton St George was a Royal Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force Bomber Command station during World War II. It was located in County Durham, five miles east of Darlington, England. The station's motto was Shield and Deter. The aerodrome remains active as Teesside International Airport.
Like many similar airfields; RAF Middleton St George was commissioned in 1938 in anticipation of WWII and opened in 1941 under the auspices of Bomber Command. Contrary to popular belief the airfield was never called RAF Goosepool, Goosepool being the name of the farm which made way for the airfield, with the name sticking amongst the local population.
