[edit] Picture overlap

Just noticed that the pictures on the lower half of the page are covering some of the text, I'd fix it, but I don't know how. FrozenPurpleCube 18:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "RAF .." ?

Forgive me if this is painfully obvious or explained already, but why are USAF bases identified as "RAF Somewhere"? Given the amount of time some of them have been occupied there must be a better/more official reason than simply that the sites are owned by the British government, which in any case does not explain why they would assign the name of a third organisation...? 89.243.3.185 02:24, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

All USAF bases in the United Kingdom are leased and are all officially RAF Stations, each has a Royal Air Force station commander even big bases like Mildenhall. I believe it goes back to the original wartime basing agreement where the US forces are considered to be Visiting Forces and not permanent. MilborneOne (talk) 19:58, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
