Updated 26 January 2010                    Durham Tees Valley Airport Security Information         back to home page

After a long slog, and a lot of hard work particularly from Colin Granton, Durham Police are now ready to issue the 'Durham Tees Valley Aviation Watch' ID cards. Anyone wanting an Enthusiast ID card, please send an email to idcards@ntlworld.com

Once your email is received you'll get a copy of the covering letter and the application form by return email.
Please note that these cards are for ID purposes only and confer no special rights of way at any airfield. They can be used at other airfields as a means of ID which can be checked by Police/Security simply by phoning Durham Police at DTVA who will hold the applications on file.

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS SCHEME EVEN IF YOU ONLY VISIT A FEW TIMES A YEAR

CLOSING DATE FOR THE FIRST ROUND OF APPLICATIONS IS FRIDAY 5TH MARCH 2010.

DTVA are not keen on anyone going between H1 & H2 even though since as far back as I can remember it's always been overlooked for anyone nipping down for a photo. Our advice if you have to go between the hangars make it quick and if told to leave, do so. Enthusiasts will keep their end of the deal and report suspicious activity, hopefully the airport can make an effort to do something in return.

For now please carry on as normal, if you are challenged by the authorities be polite and courteous, accept what they say and spot/photograph from where you are allowed.

The leaflet below gives you an idea of what you need to look out for and telephone numbers to report any suspicious activities on.
