1 Merge
2 Murals
3 Box Tunnel
4 RAF Hawthorne

[edit] Merge

I would suggest merging Burlington with Hawthorn, since the latter is the larger article. I'm not sure about the request to raise the standard of the article; it looks fine to me.

[edit] Murals

I made a request to the MoD under the freedom of information act for photographs of the painted wall murals. They are available at: http://www.defenceimagedatabase.mod.uk/fotoweb - search for "Corsham Murals" Not sure how to add this information to main article so I thought I would put it here.

Amazing. Unfortunately the images are crown copyright and copyright the artist, but they may be useable here under the fair use policy. In the meantime, the first image is here [1] and it should be enough to click Next (top right) to flick through the full set. Poor Olga Lehman had a lot of time on her hands. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 00:29, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Box Tunnel

The Box Tunnel article states that the junction for the bunker lies just outside the tunnel. This article says otherwise. Can anyone with local knowledge say for certain which is right? Rojomoke 10:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RAF Hawthorne

My father (S/Ldr James MacFie) was CO of RAF Hawthorne from 61-63. AFAIK it was SW ComCen, part of RAF Signals Command. A seperate facility I guess. Wwwhatsup (talk) 10:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
