Tim who lived in Newcastle at the time, but now lives in London says: “I always knew about the shots but over the years I had forgotten about them.

“At Christmas, I was at my mother’s house and I found a folder with the pictures in. It was definitely a trip down memory lane and I knew people in Newcastle would find the shots interesting as it was such a big day for the North East.

“On the day, I remember being let inside an inner cordon by security, they must have thought I was a professional photographer when I wasn’t  and I stood in front of a small TV tower and film crew from Pathe News.

“I was literally only about 50ft from the President.

“I borrowed a Pentax, which is a really old-fashioned camera and a light meter from our Photography Dept and took some photos.

“I had then developed and printed them myself in our dark room.”

This cost the airport more the £500,000 but this is little cost in ensuring passengers get away on time. Staff were working around the clock to keep the airport open as much as possible and chief executive Dave Laws paid tribute saying: “All our staff put in an enormous amount of effort to keep the runway, taxiways and aircraft stands operational, as well as keeping our customers fully informed. I have worked at the airport for 30 years and don’t think I have ever seen weather conditions quite as severe as they were in recent weeks.

“Colleagues have on many occasions worked around the clock to ensure that this weather disrupted as few passengers as possible over the Christmas and New Year period, and I am extremely proud of their efforts and commitment.

“Of course, we are still in the middle of winter and this current thaw will not make us complacent. We remain on standby and I am sure our staff will respond equally efficiently if snow hits the region again.”

Newcastle Airport have some snow ploughs on standby in case the weather deteriorates again but rest assured they will do everything in their powers to keep the airport open.
