Air NORTH was founded in 1960, and today as then, we aim to record the history of aviation in the North-East and North-West of England.

Our members receive a monthly magazine which is full of information regarding local aviation. The core of the magazine is un-paralelled monthly coverage of Newcastle Airport, adding to a historical archive available nowhere else. The region's smaller airfields and landing strips feature too, with news of local fly-ins and airshows. A comprehensive military section is included, while a major part of the magazine is the publication of members' articles, offering a great read on a diverse range of aviation subjects.

About Air NORTH

Air NORTH is the second oldest continually run aviation enthusiast's society in the UK, having been formed by aviation professionals at Newcastle Airport in 1960. Sixty-four years later Air NORTH remains a volunteer run society, and continues to produce a monthly journal aimed at the enthusiast, covering aviation in the North of England and beyond, a magazine generally regarded as one of the best of its kind.

Air NORTH prides itself particularly on its unparalelled archive and history of its home airport, Newcastle International, over the last 60 years and beyond - the 'core' of the monthly magazine consists of totally comprehensive coverage of the previous month at the region's largest airport.

Aviation in all its forms is also covered throughout the North-east and North-West, while a major part of each issue is devoted to original writing by our contributors, on a huge range of aviation subjects. It remains an overriding aim of the Air NORTH committee to produce a tangible article which the reader can sit down with, offering an excellent read.

Air NORTH is thought to have been the first aviation enthusiasts' society of its kind to have a web presence, when the internet was in its infancy. This fine heritage is continued today, in this, the society's re-vamped web site.
