I have a number of Norfolk RAF stations to add, though some I am not sure of the correct title for first world war stations, for example some are RNAS, some RFC. Presumably those that lasted long enough to be part of the RAF would have taken the name RAF ... Also from WW2 there are a number of USAAF only stations from the county that at the time were known as Air Station ###, for example Seething and Shipdham. These were built by the Air Ministry but handed over to the USAAF for all their operational use. In some cases these stations were used by the RAF for non flying work thereafter. In summary is there a strict convention for this list? I am using "Norfolk Military Airfields" by Peter M Walker as my reference. Any thoughts? Rob 18:36, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

We don't have an entry for the former RAF Skewjack in Cornwall (mentioned here; other links on Google). It is now a fibre-optic cable terminal. Anyone know anything about it? --Heron 12:30, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

RAF station names-I entered RAF Gailes, sometimes I've heard it referred to as RAF Fullarton, what is the correct usage? --Douglasnicol 22:09, 28 December 2005

Forget that comment, RAF Gailes and RAF Fullarton were two seperate stations. Douglasnicol 15:59, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

No mention of RAF Stanbridge in Bedfordshire - currently still open, but much cut down from its previous size. Formerly joint services trooping centre, when Luton was used for trooping prior to use of Stansted, and also home to the RAF supply systems (part of Logistics command). 86.136.46.103 21:21, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
