Talk:Cambridge City Airport

Manchester / Gothenburg
I have tried to make the article factually accurate but at the same time respect the "rules"; "there are no longer any regular passenger flights to or from Cambridge" was just wrong. I know, because I hear it every morning.

Where is Cambridge Airport?
Last time I looked at a map it wasn't in SCDC as per the article - it was partly in SCDC and partly in Cambridge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.143.207 (talk) 21:11, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

WTF does "broke off from Marshalls" mean??
Never heard any suggestion that Marshalls don't still own it, regardless of any rebranding exercise!!

So what did the author mean by this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.143.207 (talk) 21:13, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

History: infrastructure developments and service developments
Yesterday I split the 'developments' section of history into infrastructure developments [changes in the airport, irrespective of what uses it] on the one hand and service developments [which airlines have added or subtracted routes] on the other. An anon editor reverted, saying that the services are part of the history and the info is too limited to justify its own section. I have undone the reversion but have responded to the first point by making the services a subsection of 'History' rather than a new section. On the second point, I disagree: the two categories of development are quite distinct and should be headed distinctly. Comments welcome. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 13:19, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree that the sections history and infrastructure developments should be split if there is enough chronological content for both. This is clearly not the case here as the history here just explains everything thats going on at the airport and the last few sentences are by conincidence mainly about flights and infrastructure. The history section cannot end in 2011 while the infrastructure starts in 2012. There is just not enough content for both to justify divided sections or subsections. It makes most sense to leave it as it was the last years. Best regards.
 * No, I have already accepted your argument that all types of development should be in the History section. I don't understand why it is that you object to the History section having subsections by concept, as is common in most other Wikipedia articles. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:05, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Subsections are only recommended and make sense if there is considerably more than two lines of content which clearly isn't the case here. Subsections for short texts damage the overview and readability and are commonly avoided here. Best regards.
 * Pessimist! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 00:25, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Was No 2 Squadron ever in Cambridge?
It's mentioned in the list of units, and like No 16 it flew Lysanders - so it's quite likely. But there's nothing about it on No. 2 Squadron RAF. Number774 (talk) 20:25, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * . According to Jefford (1988) "RAF Squadrons. A comprehensive record of the movement and equipment of all RAF squadrons and their antecedents since 1912" 2 squadron was deployed here. The squadron article doesn't cover every airfield they used. The Second World War section is only 3 sentences in the article. The squadron moved around after evacuating France until Sawbridgeworth became their proper main base. Gavbadger (talk) 22:28, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
